Solution
| Interrogation | Explanation |
| (1) If the shower will make the roses bloom, Oh, why lament its fall? | The poet tells us that whenever the sky is covered with dark clouds we are not able to see the sun. But when it rains, the roses bloom, so we shouldn't dislike the rain. |
| (2) What though Death at times steps in, And calls our Best away? | The poet tells us that sometimes death which is inevitable may take our loved ones away, so it is okay and we should accept it as a part of our lives. |
| (3) What though Sorrow seems to win, O'er hopes a heavy sway? | The poet tells us that sometimes sorrow takes over all other happy things and thus has a negative influence on our hope, so we should accept the situation just as we accept happiness in our lives. |
