The poem conforms to a consistent rhyme schemeand metrical pattern that follows the path of a train. It carries letters from every part of the world on every topic up a hill and through the grasses. The smoke flies over the train and into the distance as it powers forward towards the city. Once there, in amongst all the sleeping people, it delivers...

The first, anaphora, is the repetitionof a word or phrase at the beginning of multiple lines, usually in succession. This technique is often used to create emphasis. A list of...
Stanzas One, Two, and Three
In the first couplet of ‘Night Mail,’ the speaker begins by describing the initial progress of the night mail train “crossing the Border” into Scotland. It is heading “up Beattock” at a steady climb. The train is making good progress, doing what it does best. Onboard, there are “cheque[s] and the postal order[s]” as well as more personal items. These include “Letters for the rich, letters for the poor”. This line is only the first example of the repetition that Auden makes use of in ‘Night Ma...

Here, the poet describes the train as “Shovelling white steam over her shoulder”. This is, of course, a depiction of the smoke th...
Stanzas Six, Seven, and Eight
The next three stanzas are also couplets, following the same pattern as the five that came before them. The train has such a presence as it passes the birds still turn their heads to look at “her”. She pulls behind her “blank-faced coaches”. Each part of the locomotive is important and therefore it is all personified to an extent. These stanzas take the reader through the landscape and speak, briefly, on different elements of it. The poet mentions the “farm[s]” where people are sleeping and t...
