Use Concrete Examples The best place to start with your character description is with concrete examples. To say that a character has "brown hair" doesn't create nearly the image as saying that a character has long dreadlocks. Think about what kind of clothes the character wears, whether a character has freckles or moles, whether her teeth are straight or crooked or what kind of scars he has.
Make Examples Do More Avoid overloading your reader with a list of details about each character's appearance.
To create a vivid image of your character without spending a lot of time on minutia, choose details that have a ripple effect on the description.

Thou: From what i have seen, Whittier is using "Thou" to refer to God. For example: "We are fools, but Thou art wise"
For the devices, he's using Anaphora for "Thou" and maybe Conduplicatio for "We".

Also, usually these poems were sung as songs, using various musical instruments, so meter was important when it came to rhythm.
