In A Subway Station
'In A Subway Station' Summary
One of Teasdale's most famous poems, "There Will Come Soft Rains," imagines a world after humans have disappeared. The poem describes the natural world continuing on without us, with the rain falling softly on the empty houses and the birds singing in the trees. "There Will Come Soft Rains" is a haunting and beautiful meditation on the transience of human life and the power of nature.Book Details
