Answer:
The theme of the poem is the bleakness of a November day in London. A heavy fog—and perhaps a bit of smog from chimney smoke—obscures everything: the sun, the moon, the steeples, the roadways, the parks, even the faces of people on the streets.
.Because of the fog, travel ceases. Consequently, there are no mail deliveries and no ships arriving with news from foreign countries. Moreover, visitors stay away from the inner rings of Regent's Park and Hyde Park, where elegant people tend to congregate. And, because autumn has stripped the leaves from the trees, killed the flowers and fruits, and banished birds, bees, and butterflies, there is nothing left to cheer those venturing through the city.
