Answer 2

Answer:

These lines are extracts from the poem the "Rain on the roof" written by Coates Kinney.

Explanation:

In the poem 'Rain on the Roof' the poet narrates about various different reactions towards the sounds of raindrops falling on the roof of his house. He explains how the sound of rain drops help him to fall asleep peacefully and to have sweet dreams. He is also reminded of his memories with his loving/caring mother who used to put him to sleep.

In these lines the poet connects mesmerizing distractions like rain with his  past and present experiences. He is also reminded of how his mother used to tuck him to bed, biding him goodbye every night. The sad darkness of the night is wiped off slowly by the raindrops which seems to look like tears falling from the sky as if the sky is crying with sadness or grief.
