Introduction
The poem ‘Song Of The Rain,’ by Khalil Gibran, is written in the first person. The rain is communicating straight to the audience. Raindrops define themselves as a dotted silver thread, a messenger of compassion, a welcoming feeling, a deep sea of affection, and other things.
Rain is one of nature’s most heavenly manifestations, bringing delight to all living things. Raindrops are magnificent pearls taken from the goddess Ishtar’s crown by Dawn’s daughter. Ishtar is a goddess who is associated with fertility, love, conflict, and romance. She was the ‘divine embodiment of the planet Venus’ in the Babylonian pantheon.
