Summary of the poem:-
A night-Rain in summer

Mele previous I'd :( ​

Answer 1

$\small \boxed{ \fcolorbox{orange}{pink}{A night rain in summer}}$

Open the window, and let the air

Freshly blow upon face and hair,

And fill the room, as it fills the night,

With the breath of the rain's sweet might.

Hark! the burthen, swift and prone!

And how the odorous limes are blown!

Stormy Love's abroad, and keeps

Hopeful coil for gentle sleeps.

Not a blink shall burn to-night

In my chamber, of sordid light;

Nought will I have, not a window-pane,

'Twixt me and the air and the great good rain,

Which ever shall sing me sharp lullabies;

And God's own darkness shall close mine eyes;

And I will sleep, with all things blest,

In the pure earth-shadow of natural rest.

In the first stanza, the speaker seems to be addressing an absent person, is an example of apostrophe, or perhaps he is addressing . Given that he uses a first person narration (using "I") in the second stanza, he does seem to be addressing and/or giving advice.

The outside air. He wants it(air to fill the room as it fills the outside world "with the breath of rain's sweet might." he tells to listen ("hark") to the "burthen" of the rain. "burden" of the rain is meant to be ironic because the rain is actually a cleansing, notion to . the burden is just the rain striking the ground and the walls of room. note that "love" is capitalized. with , the speaker notes either the abstract notion of love or maybe even god. thus, there is the presence of an abstract love or some spiritual being that persists in the air and rain providing for peace and "gentle sleeps." the rain has a calming effect on .

In the second stanza, the speaker says that he will not have any lights in room. the darkness is natural and peaceful. the window will be open ("not a window-pane") so that he can fully embrace cleansing, fresh air and rain. he invokes god with "god's darkness" and means the night itself. in spiritual connection with god and nature, the speaker is very much a romantic. he will rest peacefully because of spiritual connection. the last line might also suggest the natural rest of death: "in the pure earth-shadow of natural rest." in either sense, the "night-rain" with its natural purity and spiritually calming presence, will bring a peaceful sleep.
