Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad

Silent land - metaphor
darkness and corruption leave - personification?
a vestige of the thoughts - metaphor?

silent in line 2 is a personification. To be silent is a human quality

Silence is not only a human quality, many non-human things can be silent.

"For if the darkness and corruption leave" might be personification. Maybe

You are talking about "figures of speech" and I'll read it again, but I did not come up with any on the first read.
