Assonance is the sound device in which vowel sounds of nearby words are repeated. These are usually found in prose and poetry, with the purpose of setting the mood.

Ex. "Hear the mellow wedding bells" in the poem The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe. In this line, the mood was set by using vowel "e" as literary device.
