The old English poem is very difficult for me. However, silimilar to many other modern poems, we can see some figurative language used in this poem as well. For example, there is the same vowel sound in "dole" and " abode", and it's assonance. We can find alliteration as well in "dole" and "dark", which is also similar to modern poems that we read nowadays. There is also repetition of the word "too" in "too cruel", "too long" and "too loathsome".
Although I didn't see clear rhyming scheme in this poem, I enjoyed the rythm of it very much.
