    Poem:

    In the morning the city

    Spreads its wings

    Making a song

    In stone that sings.

    In the evening the city

    Goes to bed

    Hanging lights

    Above its head.

    The effect " the city goes to bed" of Hughes use of personification is to express himself through the city as if the city was a human. He expressed what happened at night from a different view. The lights in the city go off so he compared the city to a human because we close our eyes to go to bed / " we go off."
