Shall my pilot be

My inborn stars to that

Final call to thee...The literary device used in the first line is

Answer Details
The literary device used in the first line is "apostrophe". Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the speaker addresses a person, thing, or idea that is not present or is unable to respond. In this case, the speaker is addressing God, who is not physically present and cannot respond. The first line of the poem is an example of apostrophe because the speaker is directly addressing God by saying "Oh incomprehensible God!" The speaker is expressing their thoughts and feelings to God, as if God were listening and could respond.
