This poem tends to be very symbolic about sadness and happiness. What is happening is that rain symbolizes tears of sadness for whatever reason. It could be just that the weather is bad and the person has seasonal affective traits or he/she is sad about something. Clouds passing by, and the sun burning into the night is symbolic of sadness turning into happiness. Rain ceasing and no more for miles is saying that the sadness and the crying have come to an end.
Up above in the worldly sky,
diamonds fall from way up high.
From my eyes I feel the drips,
fall from Heaven down to my lips.
From inside I start to cry,
as gloomy clouds pass us by.
Give way to Heaven shining bright,
sun that burns into the night.
Crying eyes soon turn to smiles,
rain has ceased, no more for miles.
