The City Sleeps Comments

I like this poem very much. It traces the gradual descent of silence which eventually takes over the whole city and I assume the lives of the citizens. The refrain shows this and highlights some of the last sounds to be muted. I like the humor of Zeus looking out over the sleeping world and realizing there's no one to meet, goes to bed himself. But it's the closing stanza that intrigues me, where you assess your poetic language objectively but also affirm your joie de vivre. To which I add my enthusiastic YES! !
