Tiffany's "Light" starts with a strange, quiet street: daffodils and red roses that nobody dares to pick, and a single house standing in total blackness. The speaker looks down this long, straight road at night and sees almost nothing except one small street lamp at the far end. Her first reaction is doubt. She wonders how anything could survive in a darkness so thick that you can't see through it.
Then the poem turns. A couple stands in the rain, hand in hand, walking toward that lamp and reassuring each other that they'll get there soon. They call it "the light at the end of the tunnel," a familiar phrase for hope after hard times. The mood shifts from fear and uncertainty to a gentle, steady comfort. The poem seems to suggest that darkness is easier to face when you aren't alone, and that even a tiny light is enough to keep moving toward. The ending stays calm and patient rather than triumphant, since the couple haven't arrived yet.
