Subject(s): Love - Loss Of; Rain
DEEP in the night I heard
The rain's mysterious word.
(It was as if an old love spoke, a dead love sobbed and stirred.)
Deep in the night the great voice of the rain
Called at my window-pane.
(A voice more sad shall nevermore sing at my heart again.)
O deep within the night, the last stars gone,
I heard the rain pass on.
(No lost love stepped within my room -- only the pallid dawn!)
