N EW SLETS

Rain, as SOFT as SeaDlroS whisper,
Kissing rain. and. growing crisper.
Rain that gently taps and patters.
Rain that rattles rain that batters,
Batters In It's sudden fury door and
quivering pane!
Rain that stays though times be grievous,
Constant rain that will not leave us.
Let II drench me TO inspire me.
Let 1t soak, yet soaking fire me
Sing a song OF rain!
Rain that. as the world today knows,
Is extinguishing volcanoes.
Quenching fires, IL brings delayed case
To the denizens OF Hades,
To that my denizens OF Hades,
So that my deserts lie lower than
shall attain.
Rain No prying eye discovers
In the lane now lingering lovers.
Rain, till home has such fresh hold
On US we ne'er cross the threshold.
Sing a song OF rain!
Rain, till floods All every basement,
Waters lap at every easement,
Rain. till rains the best Of givers!
Fields are lakes and roads are rivers,
TIL the ponds OF Happy Hampstead
are boundless main.
Rain. till ~ain's the best OF givers!
Are our notion OF fair weather.
Till the forecast day by day says:
Rain at all times in all places"
Sing song OF rain!
