RAIN ON THE ROOF-COATES KINNEY
 
SUMMARY
 
The poem ‘Rain on the Roof’ reveals the healing power of nature, rain especially when heard from a cozy bed in a lovely cottage. It is pleasant to live and sleep snugly in a cottage on a rainy night. In the second stanza, the tingle of the rain brings dreamy fancies with bright hues of recollection. In the third stanza, the fondest memory of his mother is stirred before him in all her gentle loveliness by the matter of the rain. Next in the fifth stanza, comes the bright hued recollection of his sister and brother who died young and transcended to the state of angels. The conflict occurs and gets resolved in the sixth stanza. Then there comes the memory of his faithless love, but he forgets to remember that she was faithful as his heart vibrates to the patter of the rain. The resolution of seventh stanza reveals the speakers assertion that Art cannot equal the subduing strain on sorrowful passions as the patter of nature’s rain can.
