Quotes About Rain

And, softly shaking on the dimpled pool
Prelusive drops, let all their moisture flow,
In large effusion, o'er the freshened world.

Rain in the woods, rain on the sea;
Even the little waves, beaten, come crawling
As if to find shelter here with me.

With tinkling of innumerable feet.

Tell their beads in drops of rain.

Blown all aslant, a driving, dashing rain;
Peal upon peal, redoubling all around,
Shakes it again and faster to the ground.

And drinks and gapes for drink again;
The plants suck in the earth, and are
With constant drinking fresh and fair.

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.
