'A load of brushes and baskets and cradles and chairs'
- list of description of things they sell = lost cost domestic appliances
- repition of 'and' creates sense of time passing slowly and no selling
'rain' = pathetic fallacy
'man, a woman and pony with whiteybrown hairs'
- suggests age = they have been doing this for a very long time
- repeated in 2nd stanza = very vague (childish description)
'shambling sway' = links to formation of poem
'funeral train...dirge-like' ='digre' sad, slow song about death
'swinging a turks-head brush' =contrasts what his reality is
'in drum-major's way...bandsmen march and play' = comparison suggest march and pace of poem
