The figurative language used in these stanzas is METAPHOR.

Metaphor is the comparison of two unrelated object without the use of LIKE and AS.

The shadow is compared to the sunlight on a plate of silver.
The footsteps is compared to the seeding-place of lilies
The hand movements is compared to a chime of bells across a windless air, long, golden running of light from a rising sun, and the hopping of birds upon a garden-path.

In this way, when you see the sunlight on a plate of silver, you will think about the shadow it was compared to and vice versa.

- Enjambment  - an idea carried from one line to the next

- Caesura  - a pause in the middle of a line

- Quatrain  - a stanza made up of four lines

- Stanza  - a group of lines in a poem

- Couplet  - a stanza made up of two lines

- Octave  - a stanza made up of eight lines

- Sestet  - a stanza made up of six lines

Explanation:

The given terms related to poetry have been appropriately matched to its definition above.

Enjambment is the literary device in which an idea is continued across a line break without any punctuation to mark a stop or end. It is commonly employed in poetry for continuing a rhythm/idea without any restrictions.

Caesura is demonstrated as the metrical pause in a poetic line at the end of a phrase and before the beginning of another. It is denoted by a comma, two lines, tick, etc. It allows the author to add a dramatic and emotional touch to the idea.

A Quatrain is defined as the stanza consisting of four lines. It is a very popular form employed in poetry to add structure and rhythm.

Stanza is described as the 'group of lines' with a specific rhyme and meter. It helps in giving form to the ideas in a poem.

Couplet is a couple of lines rhyming at the end which allows rhythm in poetry.

Octave and sestet are the stanzas consisting of eight and fourteen lines respectively. They together contribute to formation of petrarchan sonnet.
