The s of serene coupled with those of soothed and spring seems to suggest the spring mood and its balmy weather.

An example of off-accented alliteration of vowels follows:

Warm the weather grows

Gradually as one plum flower

After another blows.

Here the a coupling gives enough emphasis to show how mildly the warmth of the early spring is increasing as the plum blossoms are budding one by one. The accented a seems to suggest the fully-opened flower, and the unaccented a the half-opened one.

Let us note what alliteration does for the following poem:

In the lonely night

There the fire fly glides one foot,

Putting out its light.
