First Line: The rain is some peculiar mood

Subject(s): Rain
The rain is some peculiar mood.
It is an ancient attitude
Toward life that once was held by these
Who hesitated under trees
Where chilly mists dropped down. These shook
With cold beside the rising brook.
Rain answers in me something dull
And unremembered -- beautiful.
Because of these ancestral men
And women huddling in their den
Of boughs and leaves, when rain comes down
There is a mood upon the town
That answers them. The running crowds,
Umbrellas raised against the clouds'
Great spilling of cold rain, are old
As Saxons crouching in the cold.
