‘Sigh of the sea’ is a brilliant image. It creates an image of the soft, gentle and tender movement of the sea when the rain falls in it.
‘Laughter of the fields’ is a beautiful image. It creates an image of the happiness of the field when the rain falls on it and quenches its thirst.
‘Tears of heaven’ is a subtle image. It creates an image of the drops of the rain falling from the sky on the earth when the cloud bursts. When the cloud bursts, it dies. So the drops of rain are referred to as the tears of heaven.
