- 3. THE VOICE OF THE RAIN -Walt Whitman MAIN POINTS ☞ The poet of this poem is
Walt Whitman. ☞ It signifies the eternal
role played by rain in nurturing, quenching and purifying the various elements
of earth. ☞ This poem is an imaginary
conversation with rain droplets. ☞ The poet asks the
soft-falling shower, 'Who are you?' To which she replies that she is the poem
of earth. ☞ It is a strange thing
that the rain answered the poet that she cannot be touched as she rises in the
form of water vapour in the sky from the land and the bottomless sea. ☞ It falls back on the
surface of the earth to provide water to the drought-prone areas and to
beautify and purify the earth. ☞ It provides life to the
seeds inside the earth and helps them grow. ☞
