match each excerpt from \song of myself\ by walt whitman to the poetic device used.
i ascend from the moon, i ascend from the night,
hous - es and rooms are full of per - fumes
o suns—o grass of graves—o perpetual transfers and promotions,
(no doubt i have died myself ten thousand times before.)
alliteration
assonance
rhyme
parallelism

Explanation:

1. Alliteration: This device uses repeated initial consonant sounds. The excerpt "O suns—O grass of graves—O perpetual transfers and promotions," repeats the hard "g" sound in "grass" and "graves", and the "p" sound in "perpetual" and "promotions".
2. Assonance: This device uses repeated vowel sounds within words. The excerpt "Hous-es and rooms are full of per-fumes" has repeated long "u" sounds in "Hous-es", "rooms", and "per-fumes".
3. Rhyme: This device uses matching sounds at the end of words. The excerpt "(No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before.)" has end rhymes in "died" and "times" (slant rhyme) and the final stressed vowel sound alignment fits this device.
4. Parallelism: This device uses repeated grammatical structures. The excerpt "I ascend from the moon, I ascend from the night," repeats the phrase structure "I ascend from the [noun]".
