Answer 1

Answer:

What poem are you talking about ?

Answer 2

Answer:

Option 1 - Rain has soothing effects on man is the correct answer.

Explanation:

• Coates Kinney's beautiful poem "Rain on the Roof" depicts the recollections evoked in the poet's imagination by rain falling on the tin roof.
• The poet demonstrates through a series of analogies that raindrops on the roof shingles cause a train of ideas to pass through his mind.
• He remembers his mother wishing him and his siblings good night and putting them to sleep.
• Through the rain-revived memories, the poet connects his present with his past.
• The poem's central theme is rain's ability to heal. It soothes man.
• Raindrops falling on a rooftop at night have the power to resurrect beautiful memories and arouse imaginations in an otherwise busy mind.

Hence, the rain therefore calms and relaxes a tired mind by transporting it to a more pleasant time. Rain is associated with some of our fondest memories.
