what gushes and struggles out? (how beautiful is the rain)
Answers
The poem "How Beautiful is the Rain" is a nature poem written by the American poet Henry Wadsworth (HW) Longfellow. The phrase "..gushed and struggles out" occurs in the second stanza (lines 6-9) of the poem:-
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat of the overflowing spout!
Here, Longfellow visualises the rains hitting on the roof. The sound created in the process is likened to that of hoofs tramping on the ground. As the water of the rains gets collected on the roof, it struggles to go through the spot attached at the corner of the roof, so that the water does not get staganted on the roof. So, it is the gushing and struggling actions of the water to go down the spout that is being referred to in this line.
