Besides, the pattern of the end rhyme varies frequently. It is ABABACDD in the first stanza; ABABCCDEFEGEG in the second one; AABBCC in the third one.

The rhyme is important in order to connect words whose meaning is associated; for example the words "seem" and "dream" are used to express a unique idea as well as the words "yore" and "no more" .

The main alliterations are:

The /h/ sound (Hath had) which forces the reader to read slowly.

The /th/ and /f/ sounds (cometh from afar) which bring the idea of a changing situation, of a movement or something in progression.

The /n/ sound (and not in utter nakedness) conveys the idea of something which is hidden.

The /h/ sound (who is our home) resemble to a sigh, maybe creating the idea of a nostalgic feeling.

The /o/ sound (upon the growing Boy) is linked to the idea of expansion and growth.

A lot of metaphors are employed:

Our birth is a sleep; Our birth is a forgetting (Wordsworth explains how the birth brings to a sleep of our relation with God);

The soul...our life's Star (comparison of the soul to a guiding star);

God is our home (another way to explain that our origine is directly linked with God);

Shades of the prison-home (Wordsworth compares the men's growth to shades, this is beacause reality catches men so they lose their divine values which are forgotten in the process of growing up. The men's mind is no more illuminated by God's glory.

The language is complex as the ode is based on philosophical problems.

There are lots of uncommon words as apparell'd, hath, yore, wheresoe're, cometh etc..

Furthermore syntax is complex too and it is mainly made by the use of hypotaxis. This strategy increases the rhythm of the ode.
