Write a critical appreciation of the poem' Song of the Rain'., 'Song of the Rain' poem by Khalil Gibran the famous Lebanese poet. It describes the heavenly, beauty of rain. The rain itself is the speaker of here., The rain looks like silver threads coming from heaven send by God. Mother Nature uses the rain, to beautify her fields and valleys. It is the very pearls plucked from the crown of ishtar the, goddess of fertility. When the rain cries, it brings laughter to the hills.The flowers rejoice at its, arrival. When it sees a field, it falls down on it. It touches every window with its soft fingers. It is, born from the heat of the atmosphere but it kills the heat - the one who gave birth to it . The rain, is the sigh of the sea.The poem ends like a friendly letter. ' So with love.', The poem is divided into three , four and five line stanzas. They don't follow any rhyme scheme., Metaphor (I am dotted silver threads ), simile (I am like earthly life), visual images( fields,, valleys),auditory images (when I cry), personification (The hills laugh ),alliteration (pearls, plucked) etc make the poem interesting. Language used is simple. As a whole the poem is an, excellent work.
