Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Poems
Central idea of the poem how beautiful is the rain ... detailed answer
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
The speaker thinks rain is transformative. The rain is considered beautiful because it replaces the heat and accompanying dryness of a hot climate. The poet describes the rain as "welcome", meaning it's been awhile... the land is too dry. Rain also changes the mood... soothing a fever, providing energy for boys at play.
How are the first three verses different from the rest of the poem
