Summary:

The poet is in an imaginary conversation with the rain which he calls ‘the soft-falling shower’. He asks the  rain, “And who art thou?” to which, he says, strangely, the rain replies. The poet translates for the readers  to understand what the rain answered. The rain tells the poet in her ‘voice’ that she is the Poem of Earth. In  a way, the sound of raindrops falling on the ground is ‘voice of rain’ according to the poet which is musical.  The rain further tells the poet that it keeps rising forever in the form of vapours which are ‘impalpable’ ‘out  of the land and the bottomless sea’ to the ‘heaven’.  There, the vapours form clouds. Their form is changed yet their basic structure remains the same. Now the  rain comes down ‘to lave’ the droughts, atomies and dust-layers of the whole world.  The rain says that if it would not have done so, the trees would have been just the seedsunborn and undeveloped. It keeps giving life to its own origin i.e. it cleanses and nourishes the earth to  make it pure and beautiful.  In the final lines, the poet draws a parallel between rain and music as both has the ability to soothe. Both of  them rejuvenate and heal life. Hence the poet, in the poem, tries to show the significance of his poetry. As  rain is to the earth, poetry is to mankind.

Introduction:

The poem ‘The Voice of the Rain’ written by Walt Whitman is about the poet’s imaginary conversation with  rain droplets. In the end, he says that his poetry is like the rain droplets as both of them play a crucial role  in the world- of making it livelier.  The poem is a free verse without any rhyme scheme. It lacks a specific form, metre and consists of single  stanza having 9 lines.

About the Poet:

Walt Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist, and journalist.  A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both  views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the  father of free verse, though he did not invent it.
