Rain in Summer: H.W. Longfellow

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!

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!


Summary: In this poem, ‘Rain in Summer’, the poet H.W. Longfellow describes about the beauty and comfort of rains in summer. The rain is very expected in summer. In summer, rain brings beauty and comfort after the dust and heat. It washes away the dust. So, everything becomes fresh. It creates a beautiful rhythmic sound on the roof. When summer rain comes everybody welcomes it.
