Read the excerpt from "Annabel Lee," by Edgar Allan Poe. In her sepulchre there by the sea— In her tomb by the sounding sea. How does Poe use a sound device in the excerpt?

Poe repeats the initial s sound in “sepulchre,” “sea,” and “sounding,” creating alliteration. The words “sepulchre” and “tomb” suggest death, while “sea” connects that image to the setting by the water. This matches the choice about linking images of the sea with images of death.
