Answer:

A personification is a literary element used to give human attributes to non-human things. In "A Caged Bird" Maya Angelou writes, "The free bird thinks of another breeze  and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees".

It spreads a feeling of uncomfortable, and scared feeling in the narrator and the readers altogether.

It suggests the narrator is traveled without thinking of the time.
This one makes the most sense because he says "at length, I found myself" some traveled for a while. "As the shades of the evening drew on" supports that he was traveling without hinting of the time because night draws on unexpectedly.
