CITY VIGNETTE: RAIN AT NIGHT by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE STREET-LAMPS SHINE IN A YELLOW LINE
Last Line: BY THE TREAD OF HOMING FEET.
Subject(s): CITIES; RAIN; URBAN LIFE;
The street-lamps shine in a yellow line
Down the splashy, gleaming street,
And the rain is heard now loud now blurred
By the tread of homing feet.
