This stanza is the last stanza of the poem "The Rain". In this stanza poet depicts an ideal picture of a sunrise after the rain. He hopes that the sunlight after the rain will bring forth a lovely sight. He says that when the rain shall stop the sparkling light of the sun will brighten up the sky. A wondrous light will fill each dark and space. The round drops of rain will spark with the wondrous sunlight. In the end the poet wishes that the sun shines in full brightness and makes the scene lovely.
The Voice of the Rain
(Walt Whitman)
And who art thou? said I to the soft-falling shower,
Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer, as here translated:
I am the Poem of Earth, said the voice of the rain,
Eternal I rise impalpable out of the land and the bottomless sea,
Upward to heaven, whence, vaguely form'd, altogether changed, and
yet the same,
I descend to lave the drouths, atomies, dust-layers of the globe,
And all that in them without me were seeds only, latent, unborn;
And forever, by day and night, I give back life to my own origin,
and make pure and beautify it;
(For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfilment, wandering,
Reck'd or unreck'd, duly with love returns.)
.....
The poet Walt Whitman writes of a conversation he once had with the rain as it dropped gently from the heavens. 'Who are you?' the poet asked. Stragely, the raindrops replied and the poet translates its answer for the readers.
'I am the poem of the earth,' said the rain. The rain adds that it is born in the form of invisible and intangible vapours that rise eternally from the earth's land and deep water bodies. It then reaches heaven (the sky) and changes its appearance complete to form clouds of abstract, changeable shapes. Yet, at its core, it remains the same as it was at birth.
It then returns to earth as little droplets which wash away the dust and rejuvinate the drought-ridden, dry land. New plants find life which would have otherwise remained hidden and unborn inside the land as mere seeds. Thus, this perpetual cyclic lifestyle ensures that the rain retuns to its origin, the earth, giving it life, and making it pure and beautiful.
The poet realises that the rain's life is similar to that of any song. A song's birth place is the poet's heart. Once complete, it is passed on (wanders) from one person to another. It may change (reck'd) or remain the same (unreck'd) as it travels, but one day, it returns to the poet with all due love of the listeners.
when the sun appears after the rain stops, the wonderful light sparkles each drop.
In the end, the poet wishes that the sun shines in full brightness and makes the scene lovely .
A stanza is like a verse in a poem. So a two stanza poem would have two 'verses'.Moods by Sara TeasdaleI am the still rain falling,Too tired for singing mirth--Oh, be the green fields calling,Oh, be for me the earth!I am the brown bird piningTo leave the nest and fly--Oh, be the fresh cloud shining,Oh, be for me the sky!
First answer: "There is no meter. Trying saying it as if it did have one. It doesn't work."I disagree. Longfellow was a master of meter. What I hear is iambic tetrameter (a favorite of his). However, the last line of each stanza seems to break the pattern; I hear trimeter there (with a combination of anapestic and iambic):"And the day is dark and dreary." (accented syllables bolded)
