Personification
Personification gives human qualities or actions to something that is not human.
In the line, the moving water is described as dancing over the yellow pebbles. Dancing is a human action, so the stream is spoken of as if it were a person; this is personification.
A simile compares two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’, and there is no such comparison here.
A refrain is a line repeated at intervals in a poem, and anaphora is the repetition of the same word at the beginning of successive lines; a single line with no repetition cannot show either.
