The Patter of the Rain.
When the hurried showers gather.
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in raing tears,
What a joy to press the pillows
OF a cottage Gambler bed,
And to listen to the patter
OF the soft rain over head.
Every patter on the sningIe
Has an echo in the heart,
And thousand recollections
Into busy being start,
And a thousand busy fancies,
Weave their bright hues into wOof,
: -~As we listen to the patter
OF the soft rain on the roof.
