Alliteration used in the poem "The River":
- River, river, little river
- Through the flowers and foliage glancing
- River, river! swelling river!
- On you rush through rough and smooth
- Over rocks, by rose-banks, sweeping
- River, river! brimming river
- Seeming still, yet still in motion
- River, river! headlong river
- Down you dash into the sea
- Sea that line hath never sounded
- Sea that sail hath never rounded
