There are so many, I woudn't know where to begin. Here are a few:

Alliteration: The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free:..."

Metaphor: "I never saw aught like to them, Unless perchance it were "Brown skeletons of leaves that lag My forest-brook along;..."

Personification: "Out of the sea came he!..."

There are too many to list them all, but here are a few!

"Out of the sea came he!..." is personification.

"The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free..." is alliteration.

"I never saw aught like to them, Unless perchance it were Brown skeletons of leaves that lag my forest-brook along..." is a metaphor.

Those were some of my favorite parts, I hope it helped answer your question!
