Your voice is like bells over roofs at dawn

When a bird flies

And the sky changes to a fresher color.

Speak, speak, Beloved.

Say little things

For my ears to catch

And run with them to my heart.

Verified Answer :

The figurative language used by Amy Lowell in "Prime" is simile.

Explanation: Simile is figurative language used to compare one thing to another, and it can be identified with the use of the word "like" (ex: They fought like cats and dogs). In this excerpt, the narrator compares the subject's voice to bells, which means the voice must be poweful and beautiful.
