RAIN AND I, by                    
First Line: Drop after silver drop
Last Line: Which is the wearier of us two, rain?
Subject(s): Rain


Drop after silver drop
Like crystal pendants
For milady's ears,
Splashing against
Pavements, trees,
Roofs and faces.

Drop after silver drop
Against my windowpane
Beats a drowsy sonata.
Oh, weary, weary, rain.

Drop after silver drop
Against my heart --
Internal tears, fall gently,
My heart is sore.
Oh, weary rain.

Drop after silver drop
Against my brain
Trying to wash away
Memories. Futile task.
The rain is tired.

Drop after silver drop
Upon my face.
I stretch my arms to it
The welcome feel of rain-tears
On my cheeks.

Drop after silver drop
On heart, on mind,
On face.
Which is the wearier of us two, rain?
