Poem 3, RAIN ON THE ROOF

-By Coates Kinney

Stanza- 1

When the humid shadows hover

Over all the starry spheres,

And the melancholy darkness

Gently weeps in rainy tears,

What a bliss to press the pillow

Of a cottage-chamber bed,

And lie listening to the patter

Of the soft rain overhead!

Explanation: In this stanza, the poet says that stars of the sky are not visible, being covered by clouds. He says that the darkness is making him sad and reflective and the rain also seems to mirror his emotions as it looks like tears falling softly from human eyes. The only thing that can bring joy to the poet is to curl up with a pillow in the bed of a rural cottage. Though the rooms of the cottage may be small and ill-equipped, the sound of raindrops can enable him to recover from his sad and gloomy mood.

व्याख्या- इस छंद में कवि कहता है कि आकाश के तारे बादलों से ढके होने के कारण दिखाई नहीं देते। उनका कहना है कि अंधेरा उन्हें उदास और चिंतनशील बना रहा है और बारिश भी उनकी भावनाओं को प्रतिबिंबित करती दिख रही है क्योंकि ऐसा लगता है जैसे मानव आंखों से धीरे-धीरे आंसू गिर रहे हों। केवल एक चीज जो कवि को आनंदित कर सकती है, वह है एक ग्रामीण झोपड़ी के बिस्तर में तकिये से लिपटना। भले ही झोपड़ी के कमरे छोटे और उपकरणों से सुसज्जित हों, लेकिन बारिश की बूंदों की आवाज़ उसे अपने उदास और उदास मन से उबरने में सक्षम बनाती है।

Stanza- 2

Every tinkle on the shingles

Has an echo in the heart;

And a thousand dreamy fancies

Into busy being start,

And a thousand recollections

Weave their air-threads into woof,

As I listen to the patter

Of the rain upon the roof.

Explanation: In this stanza, the poet describes how the raindrops make a tinkling sound as they fall on the shingles of the roof. Each sound made by the rain is repeated the next instant by the beating of his heart. What he has only been imagining till now starts appearing before his eyes. As he is listening to the soft and continuous falling of the raindrops on his roof, all his memories come back to him, but they are not discrete and separated from each other. Instead, these memories have formed a patchwork by becoming entwined with one another. The memories are large in numbers and have formed a cluster in his mind.

व्याख्या: इस छंद में, कवि वर्णन करता है कि कैसे बारिश की बूंदें छत के दानों पर गिरने पर झनझनाहट करती हैं। बारिश की हर आवाज उसके दिल की धड़कन से अगले ही पल दोहराई जाती है। वह अब तक जिसकी केवल कल्पना करता आया है वह उसकी आंखों के सामने प्रकट होने लगता है। जैसे ही वह अपनी छत पर बारिश की बूंदों के कोमल और लगातार गिरने को सुन रहा होता है, उसकी सारी यादें उसके पास वापस आ जाती हैं, लेकिन वे असतत नहीं होती हैं और एक दूसरे से अलग हो जाती हैं। इसके बजाय, इन यादों ने एक-दूसरे से जुड़कर एक पैबंद बना लिया है। यादें संख्या में बड़ी हैं और उनके दिमाग में एक समूह बना लिया है।

Stanza- 3

Now in memory comes my mother,

As she used in years agone,

To regard the darling dreamers,

Ere she left them till the dawn:

O! I feel her fond look on me

As I list to this refrain

Which is played upon the shingles

By the patter of the rain.

Explanation: In this stanza, the poet describes the first memory that he can actually identify among the patchwork of his memories. He remembers that during his childhood, his mother used to look at him and his siblings as they were sleeping and having pleasant dreams. His mother would make a point to look at them every night, for she knew she would not see them again till the next morning. His mother would bend down and watch over him in particular. These memories are evoked as he listens to the repetitive rhythm of the raindrops as they are falling on his roof.

व्याख्या: इस छंद में कवि पहली स्मृति का वर्णन करता है जिसे वह वास्तव में अपनी स्मृतियों के पैबंदों के बीच पहचान सकता है। उसे याद है कि बचपन में उसकी माँ उसे और उसके भाई-बहनों को सोते हुए और सुखद सपने देखते हुए देखा करती थी। उसकी माँ हर रात उन्हें देखने का निश्चय करती थी, क्योंकि वह जानती थी कि अगली सुबह तक वह उन्हें दोबारा नहीं देख पाएगी। उसकी माँ झुक कर उस पर विशेष रूप से नज़र रखती थी। जब वह अपनी छत पर गिर रही बारिश की बूंदों की दोहरावदार लय को सुनता है तो ये यादें उभर आती हैं।

Conclusion of Rain on the Roof

In this poem, whenever the poet hears the pattering sound on his rooftop he remembers sweet memories of his childhood especially one that relates to his mother.

इस कविता में, जब भी कवि अपनी छत पर खड़खड़ाहट की आवाज सुनता है तो उसे अपने बचपन की मीठी यादें याद आती हैं, खासकर वह जो उसकी माँ से संबंधित हो।
