Summary
In the poem ‘Voice of Rain’ by Walt Whitman the poet has beautifully described his unique experience he had with rain. One day he asked rain who it was. To his utter amazement the rain answered him.
The rain replied that it is (Rain is ongoing natural phenomenon) the poem of earth; it has been rising invisibly from land and water bodies in vapor form and forming clouds in the sky and waits to fall back to its sources.
As it descends down from heaven in drops of life, it ends droughts; settles dust back to the ground, and gives life to seeds and plants that would not grow without it.
Thus gratefully it gives life back to its origin. It purifies and beautifies the earth. The rain like a song heard or unheard, returns back to its origin

The Voice of the Rain Summary – Poet narrates a conversation he had with the falling drops of rain. In the poem, he asks the rain, “And who art thou?” on which the rain replies by calling itself “the poem of the Earth.” Moreover, the rain defines how it rises unnoticeably (as vapour) out of the land and sea and floats up to heaven, where it converts into clouds. After that, it falls back to Earth to refresh the drought-filled land. This allows the seeds to grow into something necessary and beautiful. Further, the poet equates the role of the poet in making this “song” (poet refers to the poem as a song). He also writes that this “song” is born from the poet’s heart. Besides, it leaves the poet’s soul and then changes form. But it’s same at its core and eventually returns to the reader as love from readers.
