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 drouths, 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 own origin,
and make pure and beautify it;
(For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfilment, wandering,
Reck'd or unreck'd, duly with love returns.)
-"The Voice of the Rain" by Walt Whitman

It's raining right now. I love the rain. It's so pretty and I like how it sounds. Especially nice when I'm trying to sleep.
I like to sit by the window and read while drinking tea and eating an apple. I know the apple doesn't really fit, but still that's What I LIke TO DO!
When it is raining at night I feel like longing for something. It makes me wanna cry
If it can be like that, I would say that rain is beautiful sadness

Rain. I really love rain. Although there's so much things you can't do when the rain falls, but it quite nice to just relax on your best favourite sofa, looking the rain tears on your window, and listening its sounds. great.
