Which figures of speech can you identify in this song?
What will be an ideal response?
- The title and the entire premise of the song are an instance of personification, the attribution of human qualities—such as, here, the ability to love—to a nonhuman thing. Line 30 contains a metaphor: “My love, I’m an owl on the sill in the evening.” There is an implied metaphor in line 31, where the love object is implicitly compared to a mouse or some similar object of prey for an owl, and a more extended one in lines 18–21, in which the speaker and the loved one are implicitly likened to trains.
