Whats the tone of this poem? city treesthe trees along this city street, save for the traffic and the trains, would make a sound as thin and sweetas trees in country lanes. and people standing in their shadeout of a shower, undoubtedlywould hear such music as is madeupon a country tree. oh, little leaves that are so dumbagainst the shrieking city air, i watch you when the wind has come, i know what sound is there. edna st. vincent millay -
