Answer 2

Answer:

The poet manages to convey an eerie feeling through the poem by his use of imagery—both visual and aural. The image of an old, abandoned mansion bathed in moonlight in the middle of a forest is an image that lends to the eerie atmosphere of the poem. Besides, the description of the phantom listeners and lines like ‘he felt in his heart their strangeness’ add to this effect. The sudden movement of a bird flying out of a turret and the sound of the horse chewing on the grass in the profound silence of the forest also contribute to the eeriness of the poem.
