    The tone of the poem Fog is calm, mysterious, light and playful. The fog appears quietly and sits there quietly and finally goes away. At every movement, it looks like something will happen. However nothing happens and the poem ends. Read summary of this poem.

There is no visibility and most of the work comes to a halt. Even the poet has to sit and wait for the fog to go away.

    Finally after waiting for sometime, it moves on. Again change takes place. Hence the poem depicts that nothing lasts forever.
