How does the use of rhyme and repetition impact the second stanza of the poem?
Hear the mellow wedding bells,
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!
Through the balmy air of night
How they ring out their delight!
From the molten-golden notes,
And all in tune,
What a liquid ditty floats
To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats
On the moon!
Oh, from out the sounding cells,
What a gush of euphony [2] voluminously wells!
How it swells!
How it dwells
On the Future! how it tells
Of the rapture that impels
To the swinging and the ringing
Of the bells, bells, bells,
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells --
To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!
They illustrate how frequently bells were heard.
They explain the sounds the bells would have made.
They show readers something important and interesting about weddings.
They build a positive and light mood regarding marriage.
Answer explanation
The rhyme and repetition within the stanza promotes a sing-song quality to the stanza and draws the reader's attention to words with positive connotations. Therefore, it builds a light mood.

Repetition changes the poem's tone from feeling peaceful to feeling sad.
Repetition changes the poem's tone from celebrating joy to power.
Repetition changes the poem's tone from seriousness to gladness.
