'Tree-leaves labour up and down'
- pathetic fallacy
- falling like ghosts as they blow in wind
'through them the fainting light'
- dusk
- progress is bringing everything to the end
'crawl of night'
-ominous
'outside in the road the telegraph wire'
- nobody comes , only sends message
- reminder of loneliness
-echoes people who have used it before
'to the town from the darkening land'
- countryside is isolated
-where people go to die?
'intones to travellers like a spectral lyre'
-contrasts to metaphor of tree
- darkling thrush reference
- bleak and ghostly
