Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

It gives " hope " personification which means " hope " is given life- like qualities.

There is the metaphor you see (hope is a bird)
And it is sort of personification

There is quite a bit of alliteration on the letter S

There is some onomatopoeia with the "abash the little bird"

Soul/All in the first stanza is an assonance

Personification, anthropomorphism, circumlocution, hyperbole, metalepsis, periphrasis (the thing with feathers ), and many more that i dont know. just research for the attributes of each figure of speech.
