simile

A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as. There are actually two similes in this line. The first is the comparison of the speaker's body to a harp. The second comparison is the woman's words to a harpist's fingers.

A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. Personification is giving a non-human thing human-like traits. A motif is a dominant idea in a work of literature.
