anaphora

Definition 
In rhetoric, a figure of speech in which a word or words are repeated, usually at the beginning of successive sentences or lines of verse. William Blake's "London" provides an example:

In every cry of every man

In every infant's cry of fear

In every vice, in every ban

The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.
