A good example of onomatopoeia can be found in Wilfred Owen's famous "Anthem for Doomed Youth". The first verse is as follows (the onomatopoeia is indicated in italics): What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
- Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, -
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
