Answer to Question 1


  • The title and the entire premise of the song are an instance of personification, the attribution of human qualitiessuch as, here, the ability to loveto a nonhuman thing. Line 30 contains a metaphor: My love, Im an owl on the sill in the evening. There is an implied metaphor in line 31, where the love object is implicitly compared to a mouse or some similar object of prey for an owl, and a more extended one in lines 1821, in which the speaker and the loved one are implicitly likened to trains.



Answer to Question 2


  • The statement is made as if it were fact; it is an implied comparison rather than an expressed one, and thus a metaphor.
