When rain is hereIt washes awayMy fearWhen rain comes byI say goodbyeTo the stormThat is in my brainThe rainWashes awayThe mistakesI makeThe new dayA 'new' brainThe rain hasCleansed away
Splish, SplashWith the yellowOf the nice rain bootsAnd great splash comes with themSplish, SplashShe jumps into the many puddlesEnjoying the natures giftSplish, SplashHearing a great roarShe doesn't careBut only listens toSplish, SplashThe puddles makeWhen she takes a leapAnd laughs when herYellow boots make the squeak
As we walkDown the streetMe in your hoodieAnd a smile on my faceWith the rain fallingAnd the splash of the carsThe kiss can not waitSo you kiss my cheekWe laughAs we go down the streetTake a rightThere's a bright skyThe smiles showThe rain can be niceWith me and youWhen holding hands
Consulting summer's clock,But half the hours remain.I ascertain it with a shock --I shall not look again.The second half of joyIs shorter than the first.The truth I do not dare to knowI muffle with a jest.
The frog half fearful jumps across the path,And little mouse that leaves its hole at eveNimbles with timid dread beneath the swath;My rustling steps awhile their joys deceive,Till past,--and then the cricket sings more strong,And grasshoppers in merry moods still wearThe short night weary with their fretting song.Up from behind the molehill jumps the hare,Cheat of his chosen bed, and from the bankThe yellowhammer flutters in short fearsFrom off its nest hid in the grasses rank,And drops again when no more noise it hears.Thus nature's human link and endless thrall,Proud man, still seems the enemy of all.
The Winters are so short --I'm hardly justifiedIn sending all the Birds away --And moving into Pod --Myself -- for scarcely settled --The Phoebes have begun --And then -- it's time to strike my Tent --And open House -- again --It's mostly, interruptions --My Summer -- is despoiled --Because there was a Winter -- once --And al the Cattle -- starved --And so there was a Deluge --And swept the World away --But Ararat's a Legend -- now --And no one credits Noah --
