Greetings!

There are many kinds of figures of speech. An example from the poem would be the metaphorical language "Eyes the shady night has shut..."

The poem has loads of imagery, for example: "The fleet foot on the sill of shade" describes the youthful runner's death.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
