Explanation:

The poem "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" by Walt Whitman is loaded with figures of speech. Figures of speech are a resource widely used in poetry, and the poem in question uses figures of speech: metaphor, simile, alliteration, personification and Onomatopoeia.

The metaphor is capable of creating transposition of meaning. Through this figure of speech it is possible to make subjunctive comparisons associating two factors that are not normally related.

While the metaphor is a subjunctive comparison, the simile is an explicit and objective comparison, established between factors that are normally related. The simile is used to highlight this comparison.

Alliteration refers to an organized sequence of words that have a similarity in their phonemes, creating harmony in the pronunciation of words and a certain musicality in the poem.

Personification allows inanimate objects or animals to assume characteristics or perform tasks that can only be done by humans.

Onomatopoeia, in turn, refers to the use of letters to form a sound from the real world, however this sound is used as a real word within the text. For example, using the word "booom" to represent an explosion.
