Rain.Repeat the word times numberless. Such is this rain's monotony. No wind-tossed torrents here; No cracking roar of riven skies. Only the plash of puddle-joining drops, Or driggle of broken water threads From twig to branch, from branch to twig, And so to grass-bound puddles___ Or tinkle of man-guided streamlets Chafing in elbowed drains. __Neale Carman, Lawrence |
