“Silver”
by Walter de la Mare

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws and a silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

Explanation: Alliteration is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the starting sounds of consecutive words, or words that are close to each other. In the given excerpt from the poem "Silver”  by Walter de la Mare, we can see an example of alliteration in the line "By silver reeds in a silver stream" because it repeats the sound "s" in the beginning of the words "silver", "silver" (again) and "stream."
