(write a sentence explaining your answer)

Explanation:

1. For the line "Now that I am without you, all is desolate; All that was once so beautiful is dead", it is hyperbole. It exaggerates the emotional state and the impact of the absence to convey a deep - seated sense of loss.
2. In "The little Road says, Go, The little House says, Stay", personification is used. Roads and houses are inanimate objects, but they are given the human ability to speak.
3. The line "I could grow very still Like an old stone on a hill" uses a simile. The word "like" is used to make a comparison between the speaker becoming still and an old stone.

Answer:

1. Hyperbole; It exaggerates the effect of absence.
2. Personification; Inanimate objects are given human speech.
3. Simile; Uses "like" to compare the speaker to a stone.
