  4. Examples of Assonance From Edgar Allan Poe’s The Bells Hear the mellow wedding bells- Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells Through the Balmy air night How they ring out their delight! From the molten-golden notes, And all in tune, What a liquid ditty floats To the turtle-dove that listens, when she gloats On the moon!
