Answer:
Answer: 1-Over here, the 'humid shadows' refer to the clouds hovering in the sky. 2-The humid shadows(clouds) hover over the starry spheres(stars in da sky), thus slightly distorting them. "They weep in rainy tears" refers to the fact that the clouds have become heavy and are about to rain.4. What does the poet convey when he says, 'the humid shadows hover all the starry spheres'? Ans: The poet beautifully explains how the night sky full of twinkling stars get covered by the dark moisture laden clouds that are hovering around the atmosphere.The poet is saying that when the humid shadows hover (here,'humid shadows' refers to dark clouds which are full of water). ... At that time, huge clouds which are full of moisture, move around in the sky and the sad darkness of the night is wiped off by the raindrops which seem like tears falling from the sky.
