In the poem 'The Voice of rain', by Walt Whitman, the rain is symbolizing itself as the 'poet of earth'. The rain says altogether changed and yet the same, because of the rain cycle. The rain falls and it goes to the rivers, seas and sometimes beneath the earth. Then they vaporize under the scorching heat of the sun. These vapors are mixed with dusts and make clouds and then again fall on the earth as rain. They fall on the dry lands, fields and make them green.
