Question 4.
Why does the rain descend ‘on the earth’?

Answer 1

Answer 3:

Walt Whitman compares rain to a song. The rain forms in the sea and the earth and returns with love just as a song issues from the singer and returns to him with love from the listeners.

Answer 4:

Rain descends on the earth to wash off the drought, remove the dust and dirt and clean and purify the earth. It comes down to germinate the seeds lying on the ground.
