Answer:

The poetic device which is clearly illustrated in the lines is the following one:

Personification.

Explanation:

Actions that would only be possibly performed by a person are performed (not literally though) by something else, like a gesture, a feeling, an object, etc.

In the lines, which were originally created by the English poet from the Renaissance period Thomas Dekker in 1606, and were much later included in one of The Beatles songs ("Golden Slumbers", from the 1969 album "Abbey Road") with slight changes, there are several examples of personification:

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,  → slumbers do not actually have the ability to literally kiss someone

Smiles awake you when you rise;  → smiles do not actually have the ability to literally awake someone

Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,

And I will sing a lullaby:

Rock them, rock them, lullaby. → lullabies do not actually have the ability to literally rock someone
