A. ’I’ refers to the poet Walt Whitman in the first and the third line of the extract.
B. ’Strange to tell’ means the poet was surprised to hear the answer from the rain. He had not expected the rain would answer back.
C. The answer has been conveyed in the form of dialogue in verse. The rain replied to the poet's question poetically, which forms the most of the lines of the poem.
