Solution

There are three degrees of intensity by which the rain pours down on the earth. The poet explains how the different moods of the rain suit different things.

1. When it pours in the most ferocious manner with thunderstorms and lightning, it cries. It makes the hills happy; they roll down in joy and reach the bottom with the water running down.

2.When it pours like light showers, a little humble, it makes the flowers, the flora, and fauna happy. They dance to the rhythmic beats of the rain and their joyousness is explored.

3. When it drizzles, and bows down, it makes the whole of humanity happy. Its lovely little drops drizzling all over are enjoyed by all.
