Question

Explain the nostalgic emotions the poet Coates Kinney experiences by the ‘Patter

of the rain.’​

Answer 1

The poet lives the nostalgic emotions of his mother bidding him and his siblings a good night.

• The question has been asked from the poem Rain on the Roof by Coates Kinney.
• In the poet's gentle heart, the sound of rain produces an echo as it naturally drops on the roof. Rain always triggers in his mind lovely memories.
• His gloom is lightened as he listens to the gentle patter of the raindrops and his heart is instantly filled with many of his mother's dreams and fond memories.
• He remembers, the typical days when he was a child, which were long gone, and he lay at ease sleeping in his room with his siblings, while his dear mother looked down upon them with sincere affection.
