Edward Thomas’ poem “Rain” masterfully combines several topics, such as loneliness, mortality, the force of nature, and the search for purpose. The tone of the poem is pensive and melancholy, with brief bursts of hopeful imagery, such as the rain that purifies. The ending’s ambiguity invites the reader to speculate about the speaker’s eventual fate and the meaning he discovers—or doesn’t discover—in the face of mortality and the apathy of nature.
