RAINDR0Ps.


The raindrops fell-each drop living soul:
Joyfully they left their cloud home,
Rushing downward, through the unknown.
And some fell on the parcbed ground
And gave'their new life to the grass; .l'
And some into stately, grand-souled rivers,
and were one with them;
And some into laughing streams, leapt and
danced their lives thro' Ut -
And some into the deep, wild ocean;
And some into stagnant pools--the ouiclx-
souled raindrops. ''Nr
And when they were tired the wind STONED
down and carried the raindrops home.
