April Rain Song - meaning Summary

Comfort in Simple Weather

Hughes's poem addresses rain as a gentle, nurturing presence that comforts and soothes. The speaker invites the reader to be kissed and lulled by rain, noticing small domestic details—puddles, gutters, the roof’s night sound—that turn ordinary weather into a calming companion.

Let the rain kiss you Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops Let the rain sing you a lullaby The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk The rain makes running pools in the gutter The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night And I love the rain.
