THE RAIN by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: I HEAR LEAVES DRINKING RAIN
Last Line: TWILL BE A LOVELY SIGHT.
Subject(s): RAIN;
I hear leaves drinking rain;
I hear rich leaves on top
Giving the poor beneath
Drop after drop;
'Tis a sweet noise to hear
These green leaves drinking near.

And when the Sun comes out,
After this rain shall stop,
A wondrous light will fill
Each dark, round drop;
I hope the Sun shines bright;
'Twill be a lovely sight.
