This poem is about a man’s love for a woman, this love he
expresses through a memory of a night in June where they spent said night in
each other’s company while watching the rain. This poem was a part of one the
first collections of poetry published during the Harlem Renaissance and gave
way to the beauty that would go on to be known as the Roaring 20’s. This poem is a confessional as it gives insight to
the narrators love life and provides us with some insight as to the kind of man
that McKay may have been. The Rhyme scheme in this poem is bilinear end rhyme,
or when words rhyme at the end of every other line.
