The line from "Wind in the Pines" that include personification are "moved by that long breath," and "whistling, whispering."

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device that writers use to attribute human characteristics to something nonhuman, in this case, it is the wind. Breath is something largely attributed to humans (and perhaps other animals) but not an inanimate object like the wind. Whistling and whispering are also decidedly human actions as other animals do not whisper or whistle. The word personification can also be used in the sense that someone embodies a trait or characteristic like "She was the personification of French sophistication."
