The mirror metaphorically compares itself to a lake in the first instance. Despite the comparison appearing to be explicit, the verb "to be" (in this case, "am") actually hides the comparison rather than revealing it.
- Despite the fact that the poem uses a variety of metaphors, the metaphor involving the mirror predominates. This is not your typical metaphor, though; it's more accurately a personification: The mirror is being compared to humans, but it is more significant that it has been given human characteristics: The mirror is faithful, observes, mediates, and is honest. You could also use the candles and moon, which are compared to liars, to support your position (line 12).
- The second illustration contrasts a woman's reflection with that of a fish. This example is a simile because it includes the word "like." Similes are comparisons that use the words "like," "as," "than," or "resembles," but they can also be inserted into sentences without those modifiers.
Thus this is the metaphor in the poem.
