Summery on the poem "The Rain" by W.H.Davis.

 Summery in the poem "The Rain" by W.H.Davis.

The Rain

Rain is the grace, rain is the sky

condescending to the earth.

Without rain, there would be

 no life.

{ John Updike }



"The Rain" is a beautiful poem which has been written by a famous poet, W.E.Davis.He is the poet of nature. His poetry is simple but profound in his thoughts. His favorite themes are nature and the hardships of the poor.

The poem shows the simple sight of rain.

It shows the refreshing impact of rain. The rain falls on the top thick leaves. These thick leaves drip the rainwater drop after drop on the lower thin leaves. The top thick leaves symbolize rich people. The lower thin leaves symbolize poor people. As the poet says;

I hear leaves drinking rain;

I hear rich leaves on top

Giving the poor beneath

Drop after drop;



The rich give a little to the poor people. It is a pinching situation. This situation causes stress for the poet. However, after the rain the sun comes out. It shines equally upon all. It blesses the rich as well as poor. It brightens every dark thing. As the poet says;

And when the sun comes out,

After this Rain shall stop,

A wondrous light will fill

Each dark, round drop.

This pleases the poet. As it is a well-known saying;

Rain showers spirt and

 waters soul.



Due to this kind of the sun, the noise of rain becomes lovely music for the poet.

I hope the sun shines bright;

It would be a lovely sight.
