THE RAIN

 THE RAIN

How  beautiful is the rain !

After  the dust and  heat ,

IN the   broad and fiery street ,

In the  narrow  lane ,,

How beautiful   is the rain !


How  it clatters along the roofs,

Like  the tramp  of hoofs,
How  it gushes  and struggles out

From  the throat of the  overflowing  spot  !

Across  the  window pane

It  pours and pour ;

And   swift  and wide , Within a muddy tide ,

Like  a river down the gutters roars

The rain, the welcome rain !
