Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false that Oscar Wilde's "To My Wife" makes an unexpected association between poems and raindrops. This poem consists of three movements with a rhyme scheme ABAB. Wilde is giving a copy of his poems to his wife. He compares his poems not with raindrops, but with petals or fallen leaves. If her wife likes any of his poems, it will fall on his hair like petals or fallen leaves. In that way, she can keep the poem she likes close to her.
