"When I cry the hills laugh;

When I humble myself the flowers rejoice;

When I bow, all things are elated."

Cry , humble and bow indicate different intensity with which the rain falls. Explain the three in context.

There are three degrees of intensity by which the Rain pours down on the Earth. The poet explains how the different moods of the Rain suits different things.

1. When it pours in the most ferocious manner with thunderstorms and lightning, it cries. It makes the hills happy; they roll down in joy and reach the bottom with the water running down.

2. When it is pours like light showers, a little humble, it makes the flowers, the flora and fauna happy. They dance to the rhythmic beats of the Rain and their joyousness is explored.

3. When it drizzles, bows down, it makes the whole humanity happy. Its lovely little drops drizzling all over are enjoyed by all.
