Answer 2

The Patriot, that is the "I" is going to be executed, and thus, he says he is going to God who is a just judge.

The rain literally contributes to a mood of depression and sadness. On the other hand, in a metaphorical sense, the rain may signify that the Patriot is being cleansed of his sin before his execution.

• The line is taken from the poem "The Patriot", which is a dramatic monologue by Robert Browning.
• The poem highlights the story of a man who was focused on pleasing people and gave up everything in this process. However, he was killed by the same people without a second thought.
