Its breath was the wind that began to howl,
The piercing stars were its ravenous eyes,
Eclipsing the light to reveal its guise.”

By making the night a character that can move and see
By pairing the night and stars
By comparing the night to an animal
By giving the wind human qualities
By making the night a character that can move and see
The poet uses personification by describing the night as climbing like a cat on the prowl and having eyes that eclipse the light. This gives the night human-like qualities and attributes actions and senses to it.
