1. (i) Humid shadows refer to the dark clouds that produce rain.
(ii) Starry spheres refer to the night sky abounding in stars.
(iii) The phrase what a bliss refers to an extremely happy and heavenly feeling.
(iv)This refers to the various imaginary thoughts that are aroused in the poet mind.
(v) This phrase means that numerous memories intermingle to form a beautiful picture that the poet recollects.
2. When it rains, the poet feels delighted to lie with his head pressed against the pillow of his cottage chamber bed and listen to the patter of the soft rain.
3. The single major memory that comes to the poet is that of his mother and her fond look.
The “darling dreamers†are the poet and his siblings in their childhood when they were lovingly put to sleep by their mother.
4. No, the poet is not a child now.
The fact that the poet recollects with fondness his mother's memories connote her absence. However, it is difficult to state whether she is dead or she is merely not staying with the poet any longer.
1. When you were a young child, did your mother tuck you in, as the poet’s did? 2. Do you like rain? What do you do when it rains steadily or heavily as described in the poem? 3. Does everybody have a cosy bed to lie in when it rains? Look around you and describe how different kinds of people or animals spend time, seek shelter etc. during rain.
1. As far as I remember, maybe when I was just 6 years old, my mother would lovingly tuck me into bed
2. I love rain and some of the best memories are when my mother was tucking me in bed and there was continuous rain outside
3. No, everybody is not fortunate enough to enjoy a cozy bed when it rains. Everybody in this world does not have an opportunity to feel the pleasure and energy it accompanies.
Animals such as birds, stray dogs etc. often take shelter inside their nests and thatched roofs made of reed and straw respectively.
However, many people are faced with difficulties of taking shelter, many houses are ruined because of heavy rainfall and many people often die due to the disastrous consequences such as lightning which may fall or trees that fall apart due to a thunderstorm. Such a situation, therefore, has its own pros and cons every time it comes.
4. From what I have noticed, animals like cats and dogs, usually go seek shelter under cars and different places of a building. The poor of our society similarly try to find some place underneath an abandoned building to keep themselves dry and warm
