The poem describes the arrival and departure of rain. When the rain falls, the hills laugh and flowers feel cheerful. The sound of rain is like laughter. When it stops, rainbows appear, announcing its departure. Rain's life is as brief as humans', beginning with nature's elements and ending with death's wings. Rain emerges from the sea, soars, and descends to embrace thirsty fields, like life emerging from nature only to return to it.
