Summary – “The Rain”
“The Rain” is written by W.H. Davies. In this poem, the poet presents the natural scene of rain. He skillfully creates the sight of rain. The rain falls on the upper leaves of trees. They drip the rain and pass on the drops to the lower leaves. The rich leaves stand for the rich people and the poor leaves stand for the poor people. The poet feels sad for the poor people. The poet hopes that after the rain sun will come out. It will fill each drop with light. The sun will shine equally upon all. The poet is happy with this sight. The sunshine is for both the dark round drops of rain and rich green leaves. It means that sunshine is equal for the rich and for the poor people.
The language of the poem is simple but the message of the poem is unique. In short, it is a poem of hope.

- It rains on the umbrellas here,
- And on the ships at the sea.
“The Rain” is written by W.H. Davies. In this poem, the poet presents the natural scene of rain. He skillfully creates the sight of rain. The rain falls on the upper leaves. They drip the rain and pass on the drops to the lower leaves. The rich leaves stand for the rich people and the poor leaves stand for the poor people. The poet feels sad for the poor people. The poet hopes that after the rain sun will come out. It will fill each drop with light. The sun will shine equally upon all. The poet is happy with this sight. The sunshine is for both the dark round drops of rain and rich green leaves. It means that sunshine is equal for the rich and the poor people.
- Rain, rain, rain, don’t go away,
- Rain, rain, rain, I hope you will stay,
- Rain, rain, rain, come again and again.
The language of the poem is simple but the message of the poem is unique and thought-provoking. W.H. Davies’ favourite themes are the nature and the hardships of the poor. The metaphor of upper and lower leaves means that the rich get a golden chance first and whatever remains passes down to the poor people. But the poet hopes that there would be equality in the society just like the sunshine which spreads all over the world equally. In short, it is a poem of hope.
“It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow.”
