POEMS
THE VOICE OF THE RAIN
Walt Whitman
And who art thou? said I to the soft-falling shower,
Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer, as here translated: I am the
Poem of Earth, said the voice of the rain,
Eternal I rise impalpable out of the land and the bottomless sea,
Upward to heaven, whence, vaguely form'd, altogether changed, and yet the
same,
I descend to lave the droughts, atomies, dust-layers of the globe,
And all that in them without me were seeds only, latent, unborn;
And forever, by day and night, I give back life to my ownorigin,
And make pure and beautify it;
(For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfillment, wandering
Reck'd or unreck'd. duly with love returns.)
