Question

choose the poem that uses onomatopoeia.
leave the lovely words unsaid;
for another thought is fled
from my dream - entangled mind.
bird of passion, unenshrined.
now sweet and clear, and faint and low,
the airy tinklings come and go,
like chimings from some far - off tower,
or patterings of an april shower.
from rollo britten, \bird of passion\ and from agnes e. mitchell, \when the cows came home\

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate sounds. In the second poem, "tinklings" imitates a light, ringing sound, and "patterings" imitates the sound of raindrops. The first poem does not have such sound - imitating words.

Answer:

The second poem (Now sweet and clear, and faint and low, The airy tinklings come and go, Like chimings from some far - off tower, Or patterings of an April shower) uses onomatopoeia.
