The figure of speech used in the first stanza of the extract is :
Answer: D
The figure of speech in the first stanza is personification.
The stanza speaks to the world as a person: the water is 'around you curled', the grass lies 'upon your breast', and the world is 'beautifully drest'. A breast and clothes belong to a human being, so human qualities are given to a thing.
There is no like or as, so there is no simile. Synecdoche uses a part for the whole, and onomatopoeia uses words that imitate sounds; neither is found in these four lines.
