4. OF
THE
RAIN
{POEM}

5. The rain is divine. It falls from
the sky it appears
to be like silver threads. It calls
itself silver
threads as it connects heaven and
earth. It is
dropped by the god . As it drops

6. I am beautiful pearls, plucked from
the Crown of Ishtar by the daughter of
Dawn To embellish the gardens.

7. When the rain falls the hills are cheerful
because the rain
gives life. The word ‘cry’ here suggests
that it rains heavily
on hills. The echo of the rain sounds like
the laughter of the
hills. The rain ‘humbles’ means that it
falls moderately i.e.
neither heavy nor low. As a result the
flowers feel happy. Everything that

8. The field refers to earth and the
clouds refer to the heaven. The rain
as a messenger between the two
tries to connect them as it is divine.
It quenches the thirst of , of course
the earth. For earth is dry, it needs
water as water is an elixir of life.
Therefore the clouds burst resulting

9. The rain falls accompanied by thundering.
Its sound appears as if it announces the
arrival of rain. Soon after the rain falls
the beautiful rainbow appears in the sky
as if it is informing the earth about the
departure of the rain . The rain is as
short lived as is the man’s life on earth.
It comes and goes just as the man is born

10. The poet has described the rain here
in a scientific way. The water
evaporates from the sea to the great
heights of the sky and the water
vapors accumulate in the clouds.
These fall down on the earth in the
form of rain droplets. Thus rain falls
in millions of droplets , It falls in

11. The rain falls gently and its sound
is a proclamation of its arrival on
the earth. At the same time its
sound echoes which makes the rain
feel that it is being welcomed.
Every one hears the sound of rain
but those who are sensitive really

12. The water evaporating from the
sea has been referred as the sigh
of the sea. When the rain falls on
the earth it spreads joy as it is a
blessing particularly for the
farmers in the field. So the
laughter is referred to happiness
due to rain. The rain drops falling

13. The poet highlights qualities of the rain.
The rain is the sigh
of the sea when the water vapours rise
from the sea into the
sky. It spreads the laughter through the
colourful fields. It
means that rejuvenation takes place due to
the rain. The crops
which are the spirit of the field flourish.

14. The poem is written in the first person, and rain itself is the
speaker. It is described as something divine and characteristic of
gods. Rain is a divine gift of God and it proves very blessed for
the dry and needy earth. One of the most divine manifestations
of nature, it spreads joy and freshness all around. It beautifies,
adorns and revive fields, trees, flowers and spreads life
everywhere. Its droplets are like shimmering pearls and jewels
from God’s crown. It gives joy in all forms, the thunder
announces its arrival and the rainbow signifies its departure.
Rain cements the relationship of love between the fields and the
clouds. It takes birth from the depth of the sea, forms clouds and
its cycle completes the full circle when it descends down in a
million little ways. The arrival of the rain is like a welcome song,
beating softly on the windows. All in all, rain has a
multidimensional personality. It is born out of sighs, spreads
laughter and descends like tears. It ties the earth and heaven in a
spiritual bond, like a God, granting all wishes.
