प्रश्न
There is a parallel drawn between rain and music. Which words indicate this? Explain the similarity between the two.
उत्तर
The lines, “I am the Poem of Earth”, said by the voice of the rain, reflect a connection between rain and poetry. This connection becomes more conspicuous in the final two lines,
“(For the song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfillment, wandering
Reck’d or unreck’d, duly with love returns)”.
In these lines, the poet draws similarities between rain and music observing that the life-cycle of rain and song are alike. The song issues from the heart of the poet and travels to reach others. It wanders and, whether heard and enjoyed or not, eventually returns to its creator with all due love. Similarly, rain originates from the earth, and after fulfilling its role of spreading beauty and purity, returns to its origin. Both are perpetual in nature. Moreover, the sound of the soft-falling rain is in itself a kind of music.
