The literal device contained above is an internal rhyme.
An internal rhyme refers to when there is a rhyme within a sentence or phrase rather than across different sentences. For instance, "I missed the mark on the tree bark". The words, "mark" and "bark" rhyme but are in the same sentence.
In the sentence above, the words, "divining," "reclining," and "lining" all rhyme and yet are in the same sentence which means that this is an internal rhyme.
