Is there alliteration in "To An Athlete Dying Young"?

Let us remind ourselves that alliteration can be defined
as the repetition of initial consonant sounds in a series of words that may or may not
be close together. It is one way that poets create verbal music through this literary
device. There are plenty of examples in this poem, such as "Townsman of a stiller town"
and "Runners whome renown outran" are good examples, and the use of alliteration helps
create the almost song-like feel of the poem, which enacts the slow, mournful speed of
the funeral procession.

You might like to think about the
way in which the poem ends with an example of
alliteration:

readability="12">

And round that early-laureled
head

Will flock to gaze the strengthless
dead,

And find unwithered on its
curls

The garland briefer than a
girl's.

Note the alliteration
in the repetition of the "g" sound in "garland" and "girls." Such examples of
alliteration make the poem memorable and catchy in terms of its rhythm and sound, making
it important that we read such poems out when we study them rather than just reading
them in our heads on the page.
