The whole poem is personified. Here ‘rain’ is personified in its different form. Here the rain is the speaker. At first the rain droplets compared herself as dotted silver threads (the droplet are silver in colour and while it comes down in a line appears to be a threads) which are dropped from the heaven (symbolised as sky) by the Gods. Then nature accepts her to decorate her fields and valleys.
Again rain compares herself to beautiful pearls plucked from the crown of Ishtar. (Ishtar was the goddess of love, war, fertility and sexuality. She was the daughter of Anu. She was particularly worshipped in Northern Mesopotamia, at the Assyrian cities of Nineveh, Ashur and Arbela.) Here the rain droplets are like the pearls of the crown of Ishtar. As if these pearls are plucked by daughter of dawn to decorate the gardens. In other words the dew drops are like the pearls which add to the beauty of the gardens.
When it cries (meant as showering of rain droplets from clouds) the hills laugh (hills rejoice for the nourishing rain which will revive everything on the hills). When it humbles itself (meaning showers slowly down towards the earth) the flowers become mirthful. Flowers become ecstatic as soft showers purify and rejuvenate them and when rain droplets bow (falls on ground and get soaked) everything- such as plants, animals or aquatic animals get necessary nourishment.
The field and the cloud are described as lovers. The field and the cloud are bound in mutual love of necessity. Both are dependent on each other and both are interlinked. And the work of messenger (love messenger) is accomplished by the rain. The word ‘mercy’ is used to the benefits that the rain droplets do. The rain droplets shower down on earth and thus quenches the thirst of the earth (saves earth from drought and does provide necessary nourishment) and cures the ailment (Here the clouds with brimming and overfilled state which is cured by the releasing of the rain droplets) of the clouds.
the poet compares the life cycle of the rain to that of human. Besides, the poet artistically presents the scientific phenomenon of rainbow. The news of the arrival of rain is brought by thunder and departure is marked by the advent of the rain. As a human has the main phases of life birth – maturity and death, rain is also having the same cycle of life – birth (Evaporation), maturity (Condensation), and death (Showering of rainfall). Here rain said to begin at the feet of ‘mad elements’ (The poet might have meant the liquid and vapour in cloud which is filled with carbon, calcium, sodium, chlorine and thus under these mad elements rain is born) and dies under the upraised wings of death (upraised wings is meant as strong wind which blows the cloud away when the cloud becomes light after rainfall).
As a part of the rain cycle, it originates in the form of evaporated air from land and water (Here meant as –emerging from sea) and soar with air. When there is any need of field for nourishment, rain droplets come down and embrace (abundant shower covering every nook and corner) the flowers and plants in million little droplets.
Here the poet declares the sound of the rain droplets of song. At the outset he says how rain gently falls on (touch) window panes and the sound (here song) is like welcome song. He further goes on stating that the sound droplets could be heard as song and this is possible to the people of aesthetic sensibility, the sensitive people.
The first line says about the evaporated from (sigh) of the rain which goes up and changes into another form. ‘Sigh’ is even considered as pain of separation from the sea. The second line tells us about the joyous and mirthful state of the field. On receiving the rain droplets the field, turn nourished and fulfilled and thus becomes happy. The third line is meant for the situation when rain droplets are released from the cloud. This separation in the form of water droplets are explained as tears of heaven.
In the last stanza the evaporated air is presented as ‘sighs’ which comes out of the deep sea of affection (The word here implies the relation between the sea and the evaporated air. It is like mother (sea) – and daughter (sigh- evaporated air).
Then it is explained as laughter from the colourful field. It hints at the fulfillment of the rain. Rain nourishes and provides necessary air for agriculture and other plants turning these as colourful. The word ‘spirit’ is used to mean the farmers who would be at the peak of mirth (spirit) when there is good produce in the fields.
Then rain is said as tears of heaven (already discussed) from endless heaven of memories. It is stated as memory which is endless. It is the memory of the life cycle of the rain which never ceases and is endless.
