Question

Now in memory comes my mother, As she used in years agone, To regard the darling dreamers Ere she left them till the dawn; O! I feel her fond look on me As I list to this refrain Which is played upon the shingles By the patter of the rain 1. Who comes in the memory of the poet and when?

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, the poet introduces his mother.He says that he is dreaming of his mother. As he had told in the previous stanza that rain brings memories of the past – it is the memory of his mother who is no longer alive. In the past, she used to love him a lot, she used to consider him a darling and she would let him sleep till day break and have sweet dreams. The poet can still feel that his mother is looking at him as he listens to the song made by the rain drops falling on the roof top of his room.The sound of the rain makes him correlate his past with his present. That is why the poet is moved by the sound of the rain drops on the shingles of his room. Whenever he hears this sound it brings back memories of the past and he is reminded of his mother.
