Explanation:
The poem is written by Longfellow on a rain in summer, where he is overjoyed by the shower in a hot day. He opens the poem by exclaiming, “How beautiful is the rain!” which shows his happiness and excitement about rain. He talks about how it the drizzle and shower relieves him from the heat and dust of the summer.
How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat of the overflowing spout!
In these lines, he is just mesmerised by the rain washing off all the heat and dust from the narrow and broad lanes of the city, and he reiterates the statement, “How beautiful is the rain!” In the next lines, he speaks about how the drops of rain falling on the roofs are having a rhythmic appeal to it. He compares it with the hoofs of the horses, to give us an image of the rhythm and sound of the raindrops on the roof. In the last two lines, he writes how the rain falls from the sky as if it is freeing from the overflowing clouds in the sky.
Across the window-pane
It pours and pours;
And swift and wide,
With a muddy tide,
Like a river down the gutter roars
The rain, the welcome rain!
