My heart beats faster When I see rain All in a spatter On the windowpane. I eagerly look forward To chill damp nights When we walk onward 'Neath fog-dimmed lights. Your mist-damp face Relaxed and calm Retards my pace And I seek your palm. Somehow heavenly peace Descends with rain Sweetened thoughts release The overburdened brain. But most of all I love The dripping rain; because It sends the shy "stock-dove" To my small porch to pause. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JUNE (1) by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE FUTURE LIFE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE BATTLEFIELD by EMILY DICKINSON THE GOLDEN TARGE by WILLIAM DUNBAR IT COULDN'T BE DONE by EDGAR ALBERT GUEST BURIAL OF THE MINNISINK by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE VIKING by CLARIBEL WEEKS AVERY |
