voice ofI tothe rain shower,
1
And who art thou? said the soft-falling

Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer, as here

translated:

I am the Poem of Earth, said the voice of the rain,

Eternal I rise impalpable out of the land and the

bottomless sea,

Upward to heaven, whence, vaguely form’d,

altogether changed,  and yet the same,
 Explanation
T he speaker inquires of the rain in the opening verse, its identity and essence to
immerse.

It portrays how it's the "poetry of the Earth" in a response that's diverse.

The reader should take note of the speaker's remark, that the rain's words are "encoded"
in a lark.

One could ponder what the original tongue was, an old archaic language or just the
ambiance, noises and emotions of a rain shower that embark.

of rain
2 I descend to lave the drouths, atomies, dust-layers
of the globe,

And all that in them without me were seeds only,

latent, unborn;

And forever, by day and night, I give back life to

my own 

origin, and make pure and beautify it;

 Explanation
The rain speaks loud, it's power is strong,
It changes history, all day long.

The dirt on earth is refreshed by rain,

As it washes away the dryness and pain.

Rain helps plants grow and life to thrive,

Without it, seeds would not come alive.

These words show how important rain is,

It's like poetry, it fills our hearts with bliss.

Rain helps our spirit and heart to feel,

Without it, life would be so unreal.

Rythm
3 (For song, issuing from its birthplace, after
fulfilment, wandering,
Reck’d or unreck’d. duly with love returns.)
 Explanation
The poet delves into rain, comparing it to a melody or rhyme,
A creation of his own, its success is in the time.

He chooses to express the ideas in words and script,

Whether well received or not, it's all in the artist's wit.

Like the poem, rain too has its start,

Taking on many forms, it plays its part

And humbly acknowledges its source, the soil,

Giving life to all, it truly is royal.

THEME
The melody of Walt Whitman
Melody of Walt Whitman
(THEME)
The rain that falls, a soothing sound it makes,
Its purpose clear, to nourish and to clean.
It saturates the earth, and all its varied takes,
And back to ocean depths, it flows unseen.

For just as music fills the air with sound,

The rain does bring the world its vital drink.
And when its work is done, it sinks to ground,
And back to ocean depths, it flows, we think..

SETTING
SETTING
Two settings in this verse, both quite grand,
First in the shower, where the rain doth fall,
It speaks to us, a soft and soothing bland,
The voice of rain, it answers to our call.

The second setting, where the verse unfolds,

Is all the Earth, beneath the sky so blue,
Where every droplet, new life it holds,
And every shower, makes all things anew.

PERSONAL
ASSESSMENT
The voice of rain speaks of nature's worth,
a gem so pure and bright ,
yet we abuse it with no thought ,
and future kin will suffer our blight;
at nature's expense we seek to grow,
but in the end, it's us who'll bear the cost ,
for all the damage, we'll reap what we sow ,
and future generations will be lost.

—Maaisha
Walt Whitman's pen,
a masterpiece of verse,
illustrates the life cycle of the rain
in Voice of the Rain,
painting a true picture
of its vital role in giving and taking,
renewing life..

—PRATHAM
The rain it falls, in symphony divine,
Each droplet sings, as it reaches the ground.
The wind it howls, a second voice enshrine,
A thundering and sparkling sound profound.
Compared to music, for its beauty can't be beat,
With every note, a symphony so sweet.

—ADWIKA
The Voice of Rain, a poem of beauty rare,
It speaks of showers, both a bane and bliss,
For though it falls, it makes the flowers fair,
And with it, all the world is richer, this.

—MAHI
Walt Whitman's joy, in this verse is plain,
As raindrops fall, his spirit takes to flight ,
The sound of showers, music to his brain,
A poet's soul, in nature's wonder, bright.
