Explanation:

1.

O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been

Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth,

Tasting of Flora and the country green,

Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth!

This poem employs a heavy usage of the literary device, Symbols or Symbolism. Symbolism is a figure of speech in which a symbol is used to represent an idea or thought. This is evident in the lines of the poem "tasting of Flora and the country green" and "Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth!". The poet uses Flora to describe the taste of the vintage

2.

The western wave was all a-flame

The day was well nigh done!

Almost upon the western wave

Rested the broad bright Sun;

When that strange shape drove suddenly

Betwixt us and the Sun.

(from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

This poem employs the usage of the literary device, Synecdoche. Synodoche is figure of speech in which a part of a thing is used to represent the whole. This is evident by the line "The western wave was all a-flame" - showing that the sun shone upon the sea; the western wave is used to represent the sea & a-flame used to describe the effect of the sun shining

3.

Thank Heaven! the crisis—

The danger is past,

And the lingering illness

Is over at last—

And the fever called "Living"

Is conquered at last.

(from “For Annie” by Edgar Allan Poe)

This poem employs the use of the literary device, Irony. Irony is a figure of speech in which the statement conveys meaning which is opposite or contradictory to the intended meaning. It is like sarcasm. This portion of the poem "And the lingering illness Is over at last— And the fever called "Living"" brings this figure of speech to the forefront. The poet describes living as an 'illness', that's a classic irony

4.

Ah! sunflower, weary of time,

Who countest the steps of the sun,

Seeking after that sweet golden clime

Where the traveller’s journey is done;

This poem employs the literary device, Metonymy. Metonymy is a figure of speech in which one thing is substituted for another. This is made evident by the line "Ah! Sunflower, weary of time" - Sunflower (a flower) is actually used to substitute for a traveller (who is a human being)
