This poem is a beautiful creation of personification of rain
by Kahlil Gibran. In the first stanza the rain says it falls from heaven in the
form of silver threads thrown down on earth to adorn fields and valleys.
In the second stanza the rain compares itself to the plucked
pearls of Ishtar’s crown to be decorated the gardens on earth.
In the third stanza the rain says when it passes through
hills screaming, they laugh. When it falls on flowers, they dance in joy. All
things on earth are happy with its arrival.
In the fourth stanza the rain compares itself to a messenger
between the lover cloud and the beloved earth. It is the only way of
communication between them. When it falls, the cloud’s pain is relieved, and
the earth’s thirst is slaked.
In the fifth stanza, the rain says its arrival is heralded
by thunder. The rainbow announces its departure. The rain also compares its
life to an earthly life that is born on the earth, but after death it rises
heavenward guided by the angel of death.
In the sixth stanza, the rain explains how it is born. It
rises from the sea in the vaporous form, and is transported heavenward by
breeze. From the sky, it always waits and watches to fall back on earth
according to the needs of fields. When, after a long time it falls, it hugs
flowers and trees in a million ways, expressing its love for them.
In the eighth stanza, the rain says its droplets trickle
down the window panes softly, and every being welcomes its arrival. It feels
for common people it might be a seasonal phenomenon, but for sensitive people
it is a messenger of pure love from heaven.
In the ninth stanza it says it is the sorrow of the sea;
laughter of the fields, and tears of the sky.
In the last stanza the rain says it is a form of pure,
unconditional love. It is like the sigh from a sea of deep emotions; laughter
from the colourful field of the spirit; tears from the endless world of
memories.
