"...All can hear, but only
The sensitive can understand”
What does the poet want to convey?
When the poet says that all can hear the Rain but only sensitive can feel it, he probably is trying to tell that not everyone can feel the mood of the Rain. The poet, however, is the sensitive one who not just hears the sound of the falling rain, but feels it and is inspired by its each and every mood. The poet praises the rain with different expressions; he calls it the sigh of the sea, the laughter of the field and the tear of the heaven. Thus, one has to be sensitive enough to feel its embellishment, its beauty and its nature. The Rain when touches window panes with its soft fingers, it sings a welcome song and announces its happy mood. Not a person who is less of emotions will be able to comprehend these subtle expressions of the Rain. The poet imagines the Rain to be a sigh from the deep sea of affection; a laughter from the colourful field of the spirit and tears from the endless heaven of memories. And he was able to do so because of his compassion and vivid imagination that he presents through this poem.
