Never Never,
Sounding in each mountain rill,
Echoing from hill to hill…
In the lonely, silent places
Men lift up their glad, wet faces,
And their thanks ask no explaining -
It is raining - raining - raining!

I wish it was raining. I liked CJ Dennis' work especially for kids.
ReplyDeleteDiane, yes, I wish for rain too. Den was a great poet.
