    The poet used anaphora at the beginnings of some neighboring lines. The same words in, to, from, cannot, on, fells, bites, how, like, forges, great, if, thence, come, with, gained, there, quickly, till, should, through, i, give, ere, haste, flee, learn, filled, sings, whence, learned, leave, eaten, swift, hast, found, using are repeated.

    The author used the same word wainamoinen at the beginnings of some neighboring stanzas. The figure of speech is a kind of anaphora.

    There is a poetic device epiphora at the end of some neighboring lines heroes, thee, it are repeated).

    The literary device anadiplosis is detected in two or more neighboring lines. The word/phrase eaten connects the lines.

  • idea of the verse;
  • history of its creation;
  • critical appreciation.

Good luck in your poetry interpretation practice!
