Which pair of lines from “Lines Written in Early Spring” by William Wordsworth is an example of alliteration?





I heard a thousand blended notes,

While in a grove I sate reclined,

In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts

Bring sad thoughts to the mind.


To her fair works did nature link

The human soul that through me ran;

And much it griev’d my heart to think

What man has made of man.


Through primrose-tufts, in that sweet bower,

The periwinkle trail’d its wreathes;

And ‘tis my faith that every flower

Enjoys the air it breathes.

Alliteration is a poetic device in which a letter or a letter cluster is often repeated in succession at the beginning of words. Such lines in this poem could be:
"Bring sad thoughts to the mind" having Th, t, th in succession
or "Through primrose-tufts, in that sweet bower", having "th, t (in tufts), th"

# 2"And much it griev’d my heart to think

What man has made of man." is the answer
