"At The Window"
The pine-trees bend to listen (Personification) to the Autumn wind as it mutters
Something which sets the black poplars ashake with hysterical laughter (Synesthesia);
While slowly the {house of day (Metonomy for day) is closing its eastern shutters}metaphor (Personification).

Further down the valley the clustered tombstones recede,
Winding about their dimness the mist's grey cerements (metonomy for fog) ,after
[The street lamps in the darkness have suddenly started to bleed (End Rhyme).] metaphor

The leaves {fly over the window and utter a word (Personification) as they pass} Paralleslism
To the face that leans from the darkness, intent, with two dark-filled eyes (Imagery)
That watch for ever earnestly from behind the window glass.

"At the Window", a structured poem by D. H. Lawrence, is full of personification and imagery of the outdoors. It is in third person from the point of view of an onlooker at a window. The living and nonliving aspects of the outdoors are given human qualities; this devise is called personification. It is as if the weather and outdoor objects are communicating in conversation. The imagery gives the poem a more real and vivid description of the view the person sees from the window. The reader should be able to see the trees laughing and the mist physicallly covering the graveyard. D. H. Lawrence wonderfully allows the reader to feel and relate to the emotion in the outdoor scene. I think that he adds in the last two sentences about the onlooker because the readers can put themselves in the place of the watcher in order to more emotionally feel connected to the scene. The first stanza has a happy anf joyful mood because the trees are laughing and listening to the wind. It ends with the closing of day and is followed by the second stanza which describes night. The imagery is more eerie and dark, using words like "bleed" and "cerements". The last stanza describes the messenger as wind giving a message to the onlooker. The change in mood throughout the poem gives it more emotion and substance.
