ABOUT THE POEM
‘Song of the Rain’ describes the origin and end of rain—a natural phenomenon— in the voice of rain itself. The rain tells us of the various functions it performs. It falls down from the sky on the earth. It decorates fields, valley and gardens. When it falls down on flowers in the form of gentle showers, flowers become happy. It quenches the thirst of fields.
The voice of thunder announces the arrival of the rain. The appearance of a rainbow in the sky announces the departaure of the rain.
The rain tells it origin. The water from the sea mixes with the air and forms a cloud in the sky. When the cloud bursts, it becomes rain. The water from the cloud falls on the field. The rain is merciful. The rain declares that it is the sigh of the deep sea, laughter of the colourful fields and tears of the sky.
