Question

explain it in brief and easy English

Answer 1

The poem in its core reflects ethereal aspects of nature. Fields and valley are elaborately connected by the rain droplets which are symbolically presented as “dotted silver threads”. The two pole asunder aspects, the heaven (sky) and the earth are imagined as beautifully connected by rain and thus nature is best epitomized. We start visualising nature with a different eye when we see the words like ‘hills laugh’, ‘beautiful pearls’, ‘embellish the garden’, ‘flowers rejoice etc.’ We are mesmerised when we read that the field and cloud are lovers and the rain works as the messenger. “Thirst of the land” and “ailment” of the cloud” overwhelm us as we feel there natural aspects with personified and unique angle. We are amazed when the very ordinary occurrence of rain, thunder and rainbow is presented in an artistic way. We are thrilled to imagine that apparently cacophony of the rain can be realised as delicate and sensitive song. The cycle of rain thus is marvellously expounded by Gibran as a perfect chronicle of natural events.
