Apostrophe refers to a figure of speech in someone/something (who is absent/dead)
is addressed directly as if they are present/alive.
Ex:
"Death be not
proud, though some have called thee”
(John Donne, "Death be not
proud")
“Twinkle, twinkle,
little star, how I wonder what you are.”
(Jane Taylor, "The
Star", 1806).
