The use of rhyme and repetition in "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe, are meant to affect the reader in the following way:

It causes the reader to sense how desperate and devastated the speaker is.

Since the raven is a symbol of death and loneliness, as well as of a somber state of mind, the speaker wants it to leave his house. The presence of the animal affects the speaker in an unbearable way, since it reminds him of the loss of his significant other.

The rhymes make it for a feeling of frantic desperation, whereas the repetition, particularly "nothing more" and "nevermore", shows how strongly mourning affects the speaker, how devastated he is.

We can see how badly the speaker wants the bird to leave in the following passage:

"Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my

door!"

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Alex73 [517]
The answer is Louis and Clark! 2 very brave men! O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness

Confirm thy soul in self control
Thy liberty in law

In liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life

Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine

That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above thy fruited plain
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood

Anna007 [38]
It would say that this sentence presents two examples of personification. 
By personification, we understand that "<span>the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form"

In this quote Time is capitalized that is why it can be considered a personification of time, it is taken as a subject. And on the other hand, the bridge is related to the verb "sweep" which is applied to people.</span>
