This research follows Perrine (1983) theory which divides the types of figurative language into ten types, those are metaphor, personification, simile, hyperbole, synecdoche, metonymy, symbol, irony, allegory, and paradox. This research applies descriptive qualitative method to answer the formulated research questions. The subject of this research is selected poems from William Butler Yeats' collection of The Wild Swans at Coole. The result of the study indicates that there are six types of figurative language used in the selected poems. Those six types are (5) metaphors, (6) personifications, (1) hyperbole, (3) irony, and (4) simile and (2) synecdoche.
