Question

Read this passage from the poem "There will Come Soft Rain" by Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933). What do the details in this passage evoke? There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum-trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire.

Answer 1
