Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The speaker instructs the reader to let the rain kiss you, let the “silver liquid drops” fall on your head and sing you a lullaby. The rain creates quiet pools on the sidewalk and streaming pools in the gutter. It also plays a little song on the rooftop in the evening.

Answer 2

Answer:

Throughout the poem, Hughes personifies the rain. ... The poet then describes the rain's effects on the man-made city, pooling in sidewalks and in gutters, and tapping a “little sleep song” on the roof at night. In this poem, rain offers a sense of comfort and security.
