“Who Has Seen the Wind?” by Christina Rosetti

Personification: In the second stanza, the poet personifies the wind by describing it as causing the trees to "bow down their heads." This personification adds a sense of movement and life to the wind, creating a vivid image of its effect on the natural world. It also suggests a sense of reverence or respect for the wind's force and influence.
