th
When the shadow
Over all the stay wpis
Gentis weeps in my
What a bliss to press the pil
of a cottage chamber bed
And lie listening to the patter
of the soft rain overhead!
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart:
And a thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start,
And a thousand recollections
Weave their air-threads into woof
As I listen to the patter
of the rain upon the roof.
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.

Answer:
The poet is saying that when the humid shadows hover (here,‘humid shadows’ refers to dark clouds which are full of water). The poet is saying that when the sky is full of these clouds which are moisture - laden, are full of water and are about to bring rain, when such clouds hover around in the sky, over all the starry spheres (‘starry spheres’ refers to the skyat night time which is full of stars).At that time, huge clouds which are full of moisture, move around in the sky and the sad darkness of the night is wiped off by the raindrops which seem like tears falling from the sky. The poet is comparing rain drops to tears and he says that the dark sky which seems to be very sad, it appears as if it is crying and the raindropsare the tears shedby it. He adds that it is a like ablessingto lie on the bed in his room(Cottage chamber means bedroom) and listen tothe sound made by raindrops falling on the roof.
The poet is expressing his feelings when he hearsthe raindrops falling on the roof top of his house. He says that every tinkle on the shingles has an echo in the heart. Whenever he hears rain falling on the roof top, the soundrepeats in his heart and in his dreams, he has many different, fanciful imaginations. He adds that this sound of the rain falling on the roof top creates many new different dreams in his mind. He recollects many memories of the pastwhich come back into his mind as dreams. So, he says that as he listens to the patter of the rain upon the roof, he has many new dreams in his mind and the memories of the past come backin the form of dreams.
