In this poem, the poet expresses his love for nature and praises the healing power of rain, especially when heard from a cosy bed in a lovely cottage. The poet is thrilled when he observes the starry sky being overcast with rain-bearing clouds. But he does not like the darkness that spreads all around. It is something like mourning the melancholic spirit of indescribable sadness. Soon it starts raining to compensate it with the spirit of peace for the lonely night at hand.

The poet feels immense pleasure to lie in his cottage-chamber bed with his head pressed against a soft pillow and listen to the sound of the raindrops falling on the tin roof overhead. Every drop of rain falling on the roof makes a tinkling sound that produces an echo in the poet’s heart.

These sounds arouse a thousand imaginations in the poet’s busy mind. The pattering sound of the raindrops also revives thousand memories of his childhood. One of these memories is related to his dear mother who is not in this world. The poet remembers how she used to give a lovely look at her dear children when she put them to sleep and wished them to have sweet dreams before leaving them to meet again the next morning.

The poet, while listening to the repetitive rhythms of the raindrops falling on the roof of his cottage, can feel the presence of his mother around him. He visualises her affectionate look bending over him. Thus, he presents rain as a bridging force between his present and past.
