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 g. mitchell,

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia refers to words that imitate sounds. The second poem has words like "tinklings", "chimings", and "patterings" which mimic the sounds of tinkling, chiming, and pattering (like rain). The first poem has no such sound - imitating words. So the poem with onomatopoeia is the second one: "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."

Answer:

The 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." (from Agnes E. Mitchell)
