AUGUST Rain.

The fields had long been brown and dry,
The birds had sadly ceased to sing;
No cloud ships sailed across the sky,
The whole parched world was whitening.
Then came the welcome August rain,
The thunder's roar the lightning S
CLEAN;
The water dashed against the pane,
The road became gushing stream.
Today the meadows all are green,
A CLEAN is on the fiuttering leaves;
The road where dust lay thick is clean,
Blithe swallows chatter meath the caves.
Thus after hopelessness has made
Life seem waste, like August rain
Hope comes to brighten croft and glaze
And fill the world with cheer again.
