Dickinson often uses stylistic choices of unusual capitalization

Rhyme scheme, Ear & Here rhyme.

Extended metaphor which depicts the tangibility of the speakers soul, as the mourners walk across her soul with boots made of lead.

Rhyme of second and last line, soul & toll. This is also the only fourth line which does not end with a dash.

The line begins to mirror the way that Dickinson uses repetition in the previous stanzas, a verb following a dash, but instead the last line breaks this pattern.

Repetition

Every line in this stanza begins with the word 'And'. This helps show the rush the last stanza portrays.

The next three stanzas follow the pattern of having the second and last line rhyme. In this stanza, drum & numb rhyme.

Metaphor, that extends to the next line of the stanza.

The first and second stanza are set up in a similar pattern as the first line describes a setting, the second elaboration on the setting, third an action, the last a feeling from the speaker.

Repetition, located in the third line of the stanza. This is the same as the stanza before it.

Simile

Extended metaphors are used throughout the poem and in Dickinson's work.
