RAIN, by ALICE M. FERGUSON First Line: Fickle rain! Last Line: Of fickle rain. Subject(s): Rain | ||||||||
Fickle rain! Today it taps upon my window sill A merry tattoo; Tomorrow it will be a gloomy refrain. Today it brightens flowers And drenches all with diamond drops. Tomorrow it will be dismal And leave a drooped decadence when it stops As though even the plants are wearied By the sad, relentless beat That calls to mind A funeral march on dancing feet. Today it brings a smile -- Tomorrow it may breathe of pain; I cannot fathom all the moods Of fickle rain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DISTANT RAINFALL by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 32 by JAMES JOYCE HEAVY SUMMER RAIN by JANE KENYON CROWD CORRALLING by MARGARET AVISON THE RAIN-POOL by KARLE WILSON BAKER ON THE GREAT ATLANTIC RAINWAY by KENNETH KOCH COUNTRY CHURCH by ALICE M.
