I need to find two examples of consonance in the Annabel Lee poem

I am using
the definition of consonance that says that it is when you use the same consonant sound in a
bunch of words (more or less in a row).  The sound does not have to be at the start of the word
like it does in .

There are a number of examples of this in the poem.  Here
are a few:

  • In the first couple of lines of the third stanza, we
    have this, was, reason, this, sea.  All of these have "s" sounds.

  • Again, in the fourth stanza, you have was, reason, as, this, sea.  Again, lots of
    "s" sounds.
