Question

Short summary of poem how beautiful is the rain

Answer 1

Longfellow's poem is about the coming of rain in a draught or in a dry season. He heralds how the rain looks coming down in "fiery" streets and lanes. He tells of how it sounds as it "clatters" along dry rooftops and how it gushes out of dry, "choking" water spouts, tumbling down from the roofs.
