Personification

Personification
When we speak of inanimate objects or abstract ideas as if they were living persons, we are using personification. 
Examples : 
"Ah, Fear ! ah, frantic Fear ! 
I see—I see thee near. 
I know thy hurried step, thy haggard eye. " 
"For winter came : the wind was his whip. " 
"Echo answered in her From hollow fields. " 
"Twilight gray Had in her sober livery all things clad. " 
"Sport that wrinkled care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides. " 
"The stars, with deep amaze, Stand fixed in steadfast gaze. "
