A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
Behind the line
What it means

Robert Frost jokes that banks are fair-weather friends. They lend the umbrella when the sky is clear, then demand it back once rain starts. The humour lies in lenders retreating exactly when you need help most.
