− When the poet calls the Rain “sigh of the sea”, there is a relief expressed in the lines. The sea is relieved and sighs that now that it has rained there will be fresh water brought to it by the rivers that run down the hills and mountains.

− The poet calls the Rain “a laughter of the field” because when it rains the fields are nourished and it is a sign that there will be fertility. So, it brings greenery and prosperity and raises the productivity. So, the fields are happy and they laugh and make merry.

− The Rain is also called “tears of heaven” as when those silver threads pour down from the sky’s tomb, it feels as if the heaven is crying, and those drops are delivered to the nature on the Earth by the hands of God.

By the 'sigh of the sea', it means to say that the sea is unwilling to give birth to it. It only 'sighs'. The fields get refreshed to receive it as it gives life to them. So they laugh out of joy. When the rain falls from the sky, it seems tears of the heaven]]> 2017-01-07 13:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145812573 Rahul Banerjee The poet has built a very suggestive imagery of rain. He uses the alliteration ‘sigh of the sea’ to express the way seawater evaporates in the form of water vapours. The rain becomes the ‘laughter’ of the field when it helps the growing crops to smile and laugh in joy. As it drops from the sky; it appears as if heaven is shedding ‘tears’ from above. blacklightacc1 https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145816466 2017-01-07 15:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145816466 D.V.R https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145817012  The poet means as it rain's the sea is been provided by fresh water. As it is flows down the hill in the form of the river. It nourishes the  field. This is a sign that the fields are now fertile. This even brings up the greenery and the prosperity of the field. It shows that the fields are now happy and expresses it by laughing. Over hear the rain becomes the laughter for the fields.
When it is bieng drop from the sky, it feels as if the heaven is shedding tears from the above.

In the line "sigh of the sea", the poet talks about how the rain indicates that freshwater will be coming to the sea from the hills and mountains. That is why the sea "sighs". In the second line, "laughter of the fields", the rain acts as a sort of Santa Clause of nature, as it brings the gift of water and ultimately, makes the fields grow and prosper, making it feel happy and overjoyed, and so, it starts to laugh. In the third line, "tears of heaven", the rain is the tears of the heavens, or sky, as each and every drop shimmers in the light, like a tear of a being, which in the line, is of god from the above.
In these ways, the poet creates an image of the nature and sky as people, showing emotions like a human being, when the rain comes.]]> 2017-01-07 17:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145821952 V.Tanish https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145823065 'Sigh of the sea' can indicate two things-
1.the rain adds freshwater to the sea
2. It assissts in the growth of marine habitat
The rain enriches the greenery on the fields and helps crops grow and makes the barren land fertile. This has been referred to as the laughter of the fields. It can also indicate the happiness of the people who cultivate crops on the fields. And finally, the rain has been called tears of the heaven as the rain falls from the sky, and it is also considered divine.]]> 2017-01-07 17:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145823065 Umraan mastan https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145825716 The poet uses vivd imagination to express rain.The poet calls the Rain “sigh of the sea".

The poet calls rain "sigh of the sea". The sea is relived and now it has rained. The sea gets fresh water through rain and the water goes back to form clouds. ]]> 2017-01-08 02:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145835009 Joel johantjomon https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145851735 1.Sigh of the sea- When it rains the rivers start brimming and flows into the sea which fills it up. A 'sigh' represents the mood of the sea. A 'sigh' often signifies bad mood (especially while a person is busy or going through a tiring work scenario). I think, therefore, the sea is rather complaining about the continuous process of the water cycle which it goes through every couple of months, and is not sighing as a sign of joy.
2.Laughter of the field- Here, the poet is referring to a field which is parched and is in a desperate need for rainfall as to flourish with plants. Once it showers, the field rejoices and therefore the poet refers to its 'laughter'
3.Tears of Heaven- This is a common expression, talking of the rain as heavenly, since it falls from the sky where according to many cultures is where heaven exists. The rain is hence referred to as 'tears of heaven' as it falls as small droplets and is metaphorically from heaven]]> 2017-01-08 12:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145851735 Shlok GP shlokpoojari https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145859874 'Sigh of the sea'  is a brilliant image. It creates an image of the soft, gentle and tender movement of the sea when the rain falls in it .

'Laughter of the fields ' is a beautiful image . It creates an image of the happiness of the field when the rain falls on it and quenches its thirst .

'Tears of heaven ' is a subtle image .It creates an image of the drops of the rain falling from the sky on the earth when the cloud in the sky . when the clouds bursts , it dies .]]> 2017-01-08 15:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145859874 Reuben G.T. https://padlet.com/resmus2010/songoftherain9M/wish/145864592 The expression ' sigh of the sea ' is an expression which has an expression which is sigh. In the oxford dictionary the word sigh in simple terms means 'the relief of pain or in need of something ' . Which shows that the sea was in need of fresh water ..............


Then expression is ' laughter of the field '. Laughter could be for many things . It could be for a joke. But the laughter which is mentioned over here is the laughter due to the productivity of the field . As it will make more plants and trees and crops. .................


The term ' tears of heaven ' shows that the poet appreciates the rain . It shown that heaven is crying and the tears are been received on earth . Then these drops are to the nature of the earth .........
