SONG, by                    
First Line: It would have been easier without rain
Last Line: Oh, it shouldn't have come in the rain.
Subject(s): Rain


It would have been easier without rain;
I have so loved the luminous, dripping night
With soft, old scraps of wind that long have lain
Folded in flickering perfumes out of sight.

So many times the brooding dark must hover
With warm wet hair flung against my window pane;
So many nights like this before life is over --
Oh, it shouldn't have come in the rain.
