Explanation:

I am assuming that you are referring to the poem by the Welsh poet William Henry Davies (1871-1940). I paste it here below:

The Rain by William Henry Davies

I hear leaves drinking rain;

I hear rich leaves on top

Giving the poor beneath

Drop after drop;

'Tis a sweet noise to hear

These green leaves drinking near.

And when the Sun comes out,

After this Rain shall stop,

A wondrous Light will fill

Each dark, round drop;

I hope the Sun shines bright;

'Twill be a lovely sight.

I can see three figures of speech in this poem. The first two lines each start with the words “I hear.” Repetition of initial words is a figure of speech called anaphora. The mention of “leaves drinking rain” is an example of personification because leaves do not really “drink” like people do. The words “’Tis” and “’Twill” are an example of aphaeresis, or dropping off an initial letter or syllable.
