Which line from "Safari Day in Kenya" contains an example of assonance?

There!" Someone whispers, and all heads turn

Gazelles race by, blurred brown streaks,

A family of elephants meanders, trunks dance to unheard chorus.

Not a word speak the tourists, as we fill the teeming jeep

I would say that the last line from "Safari Day in Kenya" contains an example of assonance - Not a word speak the tourists, as we fill the teeming jeep.

Assonance is the repetition of the same vowel, and here ea in speak, ee in teeming and ee in jeep are the same ones.
