The main theme of Edward Thomas’ “Rain, Midnight Rain” is reflection on death and seeking comfort in solitude and the natural world. The speaker of the poem begins by reflecting on their mortality, so establishing the mood for reflection. The word “rain” is used repeatedly to highlight how inevitable death and time are. The speaker realizes the melancholy of being alone, but they also find comfort in the purifying effects of the rain and the peaceful company of the natural world.
