THE TRUANT by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: LISTEN! 'TIS THE RAIN
Last Line: THAN THE SELFSAME DEED IS DONE.
Subject(s): RAIN;
Listen! 'tis the Rain
Coming home again;
Not as when he went away,
Silent, but in tears to say
He is sorry to have gone
With the Mist that lured him on;
And he promises anew
Nevermore the like to do.
Alas! no sooner shines the sun
Than the selfsame deed is done.
