Key concepts: The Voice of the Rain (Class 11 English)
Walt Whitman's dialogue poem in which the poet asks the falling shower who it is, and the rain answers. Its cycle of rising, changing, descending and returning is set alongside the journey of a song.
- Two voices
- The poet speaks in 'And who art thou? said I to the soft-falling shower'; the rain answers in 'I am the poem of Earth, said the voice of the rain'.
- The poem of Earth
- The rain's name for itself. It sets up the poem's central analogy between falling water and made music or verse.
- Strange to tell
- Meaning 'surprisingly' or 'oddly enough' — the poet marks it as remarkable that a shower should answer at all.
- The archaic address
- 'Art thou' gives the opening an elevated, older register and treats the rain as a living presence worth questioning.
