Solution Steps

The highlighted section is "Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before."

Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (e.g., cuckoo, sizzle ).

The words in the highlighted section like "wondering," "fearing," "doubting," and "dreaming" do not represent sounds. Instead, internal rhyme and alliteration are sound devices used in this highlighted section. Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the highlighted passage, the repetition of the 'd' sound in "Deep," "darkness," "doubting," "dreaming," "dreams," "dared," and "dream" creates alliteration. Internal rhyme is present through the rhyming of "peering," "fearing," "dreaming."
