The poem "The Voice of the Rain". Written by Whitman in 1885 as part of his anthology of poems Leaves of Grass, is a conversation between the author or narrator and the rain.

Simply, the author/narrator upon experiencing a rain shower stops to ask the shower who it is. The rain proceeds to answer in descriptive language, explaining who and what it is and how it works. Though the language is poetic, we can easily pick out the parts of the water cycle so the poem quite literally describes rain.

On a deeper level, the rain answers that it is the "Poem of the Earth" and describes itself in a way that compares it to poetry. It describes how the source of the rain like poetry, can rise from different sources, be transformed and reborn, providing life to the receiver. The rain also talks how everything on the earth is seed and dust until it falls and things are able to grow and bloom.

In the end, Whitman is connecting the sublime with the everyday of falling rain, and his spiritually with nature, ideas common with Romantics.

From the above explaination,I believe the poem is correctly titled, "The Voice of The Rain"; as, the rain is personified and the speaker of the poem asks it directly to explain itself.
