Rain

The rain has come at last

Bringing renewed life to the living plants.

They bow their blossoms in reverence

To the precious dampness

And soak in the cherished wetness.

Upon the glass and listen for

Primrose in the rain

 

 

How beautiful is the rain!

After the dust and the heat,

In the broad and fiery street,

In the narrow lane,

How beautiful is the rain!

 

-----Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness."

APRIL RAIN SONG

Let the rain kiss you.

Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.

Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

 

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.

The rain makes running pools in the gutter.

The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night -- And I love the rain.

 

---Langston Hughes
