RAIN, by                    
First Line: My heart beats faster
Last Line: To my small porch to pause.
Subject(s): Desire; Rain


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.
