    In November by Archibald Lampman
    The hills and leafless forests slowly yield to the thick-driving snow. A little whileAnd night shall darken down. In shouting file The woodmen's carts go by me homeward-wheeled, Past the thin fading stubbles, half concealed, Now golden-gray, sowed softly through with snow, Where the last ploughman follows still his row, Turning black furrows through the whitening field. Far off the village lamps begin to gleam, fast drives the snow, and no man comes this way; the hills grow wintry white, and bleak winds moan About the naked uplands. I alone Am neither sad, nor shelter less, nor gray, Wrapped round with thought, content to watch and dream.

    Choose an example of assonance. what does it add to the poem?

    do you mean alliteration?

    Heh, thank you for that. I DO know what assonance means. I ask because, while there is a ton of alliteration, assonance in this poem is much less prevalent, and therefore plays a much smaller role in the general tone of the poem. The suggestion given earlier, with the "S's," had lots of alliteration, but you'd have to stretch to find assonance.

    "Turning black furrows" is one place you could use, I suppose.
