Line 9 “He” has changed to “We” Personification Effect- This suggests that the speaker is dying.

Line 9 “the school” Line 12 “the Fields of Grazing Grain” Line 13 “ the Setting Sun” Imagery Effect- The details could represent the stages of life Line 13 “the Setting Sun” Symbol Dark=Death

Line 14 “The Dews drew quivering and chill” Imagery Effect- This represents the cold one feels before death

Line 15 “Gossamer” Line 16 “My Tippet” “only Tulle” Imagery Effect- These images suggest that these fragile objects are used to make shrouds.

Line 17 “We paused before a House” Metaphor Effect- This marks the end of the journey. The house is the “final resting place.”
