The raindrops play music on the roof and create a sound of pitter-patter. To the poet this music is blissful. At the beginning of the poem, there is a certain tinge of sadness around which starts to weep away with the coming of raindrops. Every raindrop on the tiles of the roof creates a rhythm with the poet’s heartbeat.
The poet tries to focus s on listening to the pitter-patter on the roof whereas his mind weaves the recollections of fond memories of yesteryears. Rain bears a subtle link with all aspects of life. It serves as a powerful narrative tool in the poet’s life.
It has added a layer of depth s and fullness to the situation where the poet is concerned. It delivers an effective voice which s communicates the apt moment of time and space as well as the emotions of the protagonist I in a more poignant manner than mere words; would do.
