Explanation:

Epistrophe is the repetition of a word or phrase at the end of successive clauses. In the excerpt "The big sycamore by the creek was gone. The willow tangle was gone. The little enclave of untrodden bluegrass was gone. The clump of dogwood on the little rise across the creek - now that, too, was gone...", the word "gone" is repeated at the end of each clause.

Answer:

"The big sycamore by the creek was gone. The willow tangle was gone. The little enclave of untrodden bluegrass was gone. The clump of dogwood on the little rise across the creek - now that, too, was gone..." Robert Penn Warren
