In complete sentences, explain how it is used to convey meaning in the poem. (20 points)

Your voice is like bells over roofs at dawn
When a bird flies
And the sky changes to a fresher color.
Speak, speak, Beloved.
Say little things
For my ears to catch
And run with them to my heart.

I was thinking hyperbole but then I also have seen a simile as well.
I need some basic help just to assure my mind before sending in my own answer.
