WELCOME TO RAIN.
Drip, drip, deip, fails the ra The beautiful, life-giving rain
It sparkles in diamonds
On every spray,
It joins with the brook
And gore rippling away
Though meadow, and valley, ană plain, *Till morged in the Dean's zina main.
Drip, drip, drip, in the dust,
Comes Nutare's' benefirent trust;
“Abke on the paraon
Returning from church,
Alike on the boggar
Who stands at the poral, And asks for e mereol of orust. It falleta on "just and unjust.” Drip, drip, drip, it comes down, Rejoicing the casatry and town;
The farmer secs in it
Bread Lares of grain, The merchant is silently
Counting bia gain
In nature there is not a frown,
For green is surplanting the brows.
Drip, drip, drip, now it pours!
Eaborging all things out of doora,
The cup of the fils
Is fall to the rim,
The owl in the tree-top
Site entien and gritä,
Ae it bears the wind wake; how it wurs In solun, tagabrious roars
While drip, drip, falls the rain-
The joyons, frolesome rain.
It sports with the diamonds
That-bang on the spray-
It kisses theatres m
And goes laughing «way 1.
Noor Battered, hewildered, and vain,
Cequetting with all in its train.
Drip, drip, drip; now 'tis plain.
Convivial turbulent rain
I lost to decoriam;
Borue on by the food,
It waltzee in eddies,
It trails in the mud. Bedraggled through gutter and drain, Tolesneed in the Osean's pure main.
