The Song of the Rain.


Lo the long slender spears, how they quiver and
flash
Where the clouds send their cavalry down;
Rank and file by the million the rain lancers dash
Over mountain and river and town;
Thick the battledrops fall but they drip not in Blood
The trophy of war is the green fresh bud
o the rain, the plentiful rain
The pastures lie baked, and the furrow is bare,
And the wells yawn empty and dry;
But a rushing of waters is heard in the air,
And rainbow leaps out in the sky.
Hark the heavy drops peltng the cottonwood leaves,
How they wash the wide pavementand sweep from
the caves
Q the rain, the plentiful rain
See, the weaver throws wide his one swinging pane,
The kind drops dance on the floor;
And his wife brings the dower-pots to drink in the
rain,
On the step by the half open door;
At the time on the skylight, far over his head
Smiles the poor cripple lad in his hospital bed
the rain, the plentiful rain
And away, far from men, where high mountains tower
And little green mosses rejoice
And the ud-headed heather mods to the shower,
And the hill torrents lift up their voice;
And the pools in the hOllows mimic the flight
OF the rain their thousand points dart up in light
o the rain, the plentiful rain
And deep in the fir wood below near the plain,
A single thrush pipes full and sweet
How days of clear shining will come after rain,
Waving meadows and thick growing wheat
SO the the voice hope sings in the heart of fears
OF the harvest that springs from great nations tears:
o the rain, the plentiful rain
