Which line contains an example of personification?
O "O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet."
O "... like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music."
"My poet's vanity dies in shame before thy sight."
"Only let me make my life simple and straight..."
-"Song VII,"
ath Tagore

"My poet's vanity dies in shame before thy sight."

Explanation:

In "Song VII", which was written by Rabindranath Tagore, the speaker (who is also a poet) wants to make a connection with God. In order to do that, he is aware that he must write poetry from his heart. The speaker thus wonders what type of poetry is the best, and what makes a poet successful. He realizes that only God can be the "master poet."

Personification is a figure of speech in which human characteristics are attributed to something that is not human. In this case, 'vanity' (pride of one's own accomplishments) is capable of dying. The idea that Tagore wanted to convey by using personification is that every poet is worth nothing when compared to God, who is the best poet of all.
