Question

choose the poem that uses anaphora.
a granite cliff on either shore,
a highway poised in air;
above, the wheels of traffic roar,
below, the fleets sail fair,—
and in and out forevermore
the surging tides of ocean pour.

as i lie roofed in, screened in,
from the pattering rain,
the summer rain—
as i lie
snug and dry,
and hear the birds complain.

from edna dean proctor, \the brooklyn bridge\ and from harriet monroe, \on the porch\

Explanation:

Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the start of successive clauses/sentences. In the second poem ("On the Porch"), the phrase "As I lie" (first "As I lie roofed in..." then "As I lie Snug and dry...") repeats at the beginning of lines, showing anaphora. The first poem has no such repeated opening phrases.

Answer:

The poem "On the Porch" by Harriet Monroe (the second poem: "As I lie roofed in, screened in, From the pattering rain, The summer rain— As I lie Snug and dry, And hear the birds complain.")
