Can you rewrite the other phrases like this? Why do you think the poet uses the shorter phrases?
Wind sighing: Wind that is sighing
Rain falling: Rain that is falling
A singer chanting: A singer who is chanting
The poet uses shorter phrases because it is a poem and therefore, its rhyme has to be maintained. Also, it enhances the ‘beauty’of the poem.
