Summer Rain XVhen all ou! doors has long been dry, And fhen, on hill and plain The great clouds gather in lhe sky And loose a silver -rain, In every hollow of the ground ' Beneaih the bush and brake, And on the grass, and all around And here and there and everywhere These finy rippling bowls The kindly elements prepare For babies' wading holes. The wafer, seaffered by the sform, Is sparkling, pure, and sweefg And not foo cold, and noi loo warm For rosy wading feel. The bending bushes, newly dry, Are 1-'elvef to ihe foueh, XVifh always plenfy handy by, For little hands to clutch. And aliho one may slip and fail Ami shriek wifh wild alarm, A liftie wafer, after all, Can do buf little harm. The grass and flowers love fhe rain, If charms the happy birds, As loud ihey frill a glad refrain- One almosi hears fha words. The frogs and rahbifs like if, foo, And gaily dance and leap, , For befier ihan a liflle dew Are pools Iwo inehes deep. Bw' babies, with their wee pink feel And foes absurdly small, Wfhen rain dissolves the summer's heal- They like if best of all. --Leoia Pollard In hopes the gods of rain, nature, and such things, may take th1s 'ls a plea and grant rain for the babies to love.
