Stairway To Heaven

The mood of the song is slow and depressing during the time in which they are waiting for the end to come. By the end of the song it gets faster and livelier to show happiness and hope.

The song had several poetic devises such as internal rhyme, onomatopoeia, and most importantly metaphors. The only onomatopoeia was the word humming which was used once and is also a metaphor. The internal rhymes were one that sounded like rhymes when sung. “When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed”, “And it’s whispered that soon if we all call the tune”, “And a new day will dawn for those who stand long”, “Your head is humming and won’t go, in case you don’t know”, and the last being “Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know.” The most important poetic devise in the song was the metaphors.
