April Rain Song
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.
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.
Langston Hughes
The poem April Rain Song by Langston Hues is a very moving poem because of its simplicity but its meaning also has a big impact. This poem is about the description of rain and the things it does. I like this poem a lot because i love the rain also and the descriptions in the poem are so real and relatable to. I can't help but to think of the rain in my life when i read this poem. In the poem April rain song by Langston Hues the author shows an overall calm mood. this mood is noticeable in different ways.
One way that Langston Hues shows and overall calm mood in the poem is through repetition. For example in the beginning of the first three lines he repeats "Let the rain..". Saying let the rain instead of something more harsh and straightforward like 'the rain is..' shows a more peaceful relaxed feeling in this poem. Another way Langston Hues shows a calm mood in this poem is through his descriptions. For example the line "Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops," is a very descriptive line. When he goes on with long descriptions like raindrops are like silver liquid drops shows that there is a lot of meaning in what he is saying about the rain. That meaning is important but not overpowering so it gives off a more peaceful relaxed sense.
i think reading something like this poem is important because people always read so much strong straightforward literature that sometimes they begin to not like reading. If a person is used to reading the news paper and all the stories about crime and death and horrible weather disasters in other places they dont really know how other kinds of reading might affect them. If someone read poetry all the time and poems like this one with a relaxing calm mood they might enjoy reading. Most people read to be informed. Some people read for pleasure. I think poems like this are something a pleasure reader might read.
