The Rain on the Roof by Coates Kinney, in that,   poet is tell us about the beautiful memories he has of the rain. The sound of the raindrops falling on the roof of his house brings back sweet memories (of his mother) of the past.He says that the night's raindrops are like the sad dark night's tears. He loves to lie in bed and hear the rain fall down on his room's roof because the sweet memories of the past come to him. He says the raindrops lets him sleep and gives him sweet dreams. He has memories of his loving mother who would put them to sleep

Explanation:

In the lines ""the darling dreamers Ere she left them till dawn"

  • The poet talks about his mother  here. He's says that he dreams of his mother. The rain brings to him the memories of  his past - that is, the memory of his mother who is not alive. In the past she loved him a lot, she looked upon him as a (darling) good man and let him sleep until dawn and let him have  sweet dreams.
  • The poet also has the feeling that his mother looks at him as he listens to the rain drops that fall on his bedroom's roof. The rain's sound binds him to his past with the present. That is the reason why the poet is affected by the rain falling on his room's shingle. It brings back memories of the past and reminds him of his mother of it every time he hears this sound (rain falling/raindrops).
