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.
