Kahlil Gibran has subtly used three words �cry�, �humble�, and �bow� to personify the rain in " Song of the Rain " . These three words have not only personified the elements but also adjectified the worlds describing the different intensity of rainfall. �Cry� refers to the speed and sound of falling rains. It is known that driving rainfall at a great speed and with huge sound. The word �humble� indicates the mild intensity with which the rain falls. When it is a mild shower of rain drops with a soft and soothing touch, flowers rejoice. Unlike driving rains, mild rains pat flowers softly. When it is a spell of shower, all things on earth get refreshed, rejuvenated and feel elated. Thus the ran blends three different personalities in itself.
