In Time of Silver Rain

By Langston Hughes

In time of silver rain

The earth

Puts forth new life again,

Green grasses grow

And flowers lift their heads,

And over all the plain

The wonder spreads

Of life,

of life,

of life!

In time of silver rain

The butterflies

Lift silken wings

To catch a rainbow cry,

And trees put forth

New leaves to sing

In joy beneath the sky

As down the roadway

Passing boys and girls

Go singing, too,

In time of silver rain

When spring

And life

Are new.

Now, do you read a fixed meter? An end rhyme scheme? Perhaps a structured poem that the past masters used? No? Then I would agree with your first assessment that it's a free verse poem celebrating Spring. Now, if you are good, think deeper metaphor meaning(s) that this poem may imply.
