The silver needles of the rain Flash in and out together; They leave their print on lawn and lane, The silver needles of the rain, For oh, it's sowing weather. The silver needles of the rain Stitch steadily together; They knot the grass in tangled skein, The silver needles of the rain, For oh, it's sowing weather. The silver needles of the rain Lace earth and sky together; They prick to life the quickening grain, The silver needles of the rain, For oh, it's sowing weather. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE DEATH OF CYNTHIA'S HORSE by PHILIP AYRES TO A HAPPY WARRIOR by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT FERISHTAH'S FANCIES by ROBERT BROWNING TO MR.
