This also heightens the understanding of the speaker’s depression and isolation. “The saddest city lane” (L4) represents how the speaker looks upon the most distant and remote lane. This contributes to

Loneliness and isolation are also important themes for this poem but is used differently. In contrast to the message that solitariness has brought out for “Acquainted With the Night,” which is that time is not of the essence when a person is experiencing depression, loneliness and isolation is expressed differently as it enhances the anticipation the speaker has as he or she waits for his or her loved one in “Waiting.” The choice of diction was thought out thoroughly to help present that the speaker was alone. “From which the laborers’ voices late have died,” (L4) this helps the readers picture that it's the end of the day and all the workers are leaving to go back to their homes.
