THE RAIN SEEMS POSSESSED by MAX DAUTHENDEY

First Line: I HEAR THE THRESHING RAIN
Last Line: THEN I CAN SEE THE BLUE.
Subject(s): RAIN;
I hear the threshing rain
on pavement, thatch and pane.
The rain as though possessed
would make the world its feast.

I must lie close beside
my dear, and watch her, too,
for if her eyes are wide
then I can see the blue.
