HEYA FRIEND HERE IS YOUR 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 sky at 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 raindrop sear the tears shed by it.
•  He adds that it is a like a blessing to lie on the bed in his room(Cottage chamber means bedroom) and listen to the sound made by raindrops falling on the roof.
