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.)
Figures of speech used in the poem “The Voice of the Rain”
• Personification – Giving human qualities.Eg: “I am the Poem of the Earth”,

FATHER TO SON
Elizabeth Jennings
I do not understand this child
Though we have lived together now
In the same house for years. I know
Nothing of him, so try to build
Up a relationship from how
He was when small. Yet have I killed
The seed I spent or sown it where
The land is his and none of mine?
We speak like strangers, there‟s no sign
Of understanding in the air.
This child is built to my design
Yet what he loves I cannot share.
Silence surrounds us. I would have
Him prodigal, returning to
His father‟s house, the home he knew,
Rather than see him make and move
His world. I would forgive him too,
Shaping from sorrow a new love.
Father and son, we both must live
On the same globe and the same land,
He speaks: I cannot understand
Myself, why anger grows from grief.
We each put out an empty hand,
Longing for something to forgive.
Figures of speech used in the poem"Father to Son”
Simile – a figure of speech that makes comparison and shows similarities between two things
We speak like strangers
Alliteration – The occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of closely
connected words
The seed I spent or sown it where –„s‟ sound
Silence surrounds us
Metaphor – an indirect comparison between a quality shared by two persons or things
The seed I spent or sown it where
The land is his and none of mine?
Childhood
Markus Natten
When did my childhood go?
Was it the day I ceased to be eleven,
Was it the time I realised that Hell and Heaven,
Could not be found in Geography,
And therefore could not be,
Was that the day!
When did my childhood go?
Was it the time I realised that adults were not
all they seemed to be,
They talked of love and preached of love,
But did not act so lovingly,
Was that the day!
When did my childhood go?
Was it when I found my mind was really mine?
To use whichever way I choose,
Producing thoughts that were not those of other people
But my own, and mine alone
Was that the day!
Where did my childhood go?
It went to some forgotten place,
That‟s hidden in an infant‟s face,
That‟s all I know.
Figures of speech used in the poem,”Childhood”

• Personification:- Example:-“It went to some forgotten place”.


• Antithesis: - Example:-“Hell and Heaven”.

• Alliteration :- (it is the occurrence of the same sound at the beginning of


closely connected words). Example:- “Hell and Heaven”..”Was it when I
found”..”My mind was really mine” “Was that day”…”Whichever Way.”

day..(repeated many times)

seemed to be, they talked of love but did not act so lovingly, was that the day..!!
