"Six o’clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;"

What is the above describing? I have read the poem and I am thinking that it describes a rainstorm in a city. The only other plausible answer is a windstorm in a city.
