This time I can't shake off the idea that the first stanza is referring to these passages:

But........ it can't be right. Because then the subject (Valinor? sunrise? dream? rain?!) does not make sense with the rest of the riddle.
How much sense does it make to post answers I know beforehand to be incorrect for the sake of posting something?
