Longfellow utilizes sentence length to create effect in the poem. He also uses repetition of phrase such as, " day is dark and dreary". The theme is also set by the ominous tone of the lyric. However, the utilization of Punctuation as a literary device is missing in the poem.
Therefore, it can be stated that Punctuation is not used in this creation by Longfellow. It is in simple and straightforward language with multiple perspective on the rainy day.
