The chirping frog his joy betrays. It rains upon the Seine and Oise. O followers of Saint Nicaise, born at Triel, hard by Pontoise, Saint Egobille and good Saint Mille, now intercede with God, I pray, that he from heaven may clear away these clouds, the hue of camomile. Culling strawberries, one gets a chill, picking raspberries, one is numbed, I find. -- If this should last my chair too well will know the weight of my behind. Saint Mille and good Saint Egobille, both natives of Triel, appeal to God! Without this aid of yours my family must stay indoors. A lull! -- Then quick, the moment cull! Take full advantage of that lull! Snails shine on every side of me. Egobille and Mille -- merci. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DISTANT RAINFALL by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 32 by JAMES JOYCE HEAVY SUMMER RAIN by JANE KENYON CROWD CORRALLING by MARGARET AVISON THE RAIN-POOL by KARLE WILSON BAKER ON THE GREAT ATLANTIC RAINWAY by KENNETH KOCH A PORTFOLIO OF SKETCHES: THE LITTLE ANNUITANT by PAUL FORT |
