The author, Robert Frost, repeats the "b" sound in this excerpt to show us how the birches are bending. He uses words like "birches," "bend," and "swinging" to create a soft and calming effect, just like the motion of swinging. This repetition also helps us imagine the birches bending slowly and gracefully, adding to the peacefulness of the scene.
