A DAY OF SUN, by                    
First Line: Rain, and rain and rain
Last Line: After the rain ... The rain!
Alternate Author Name(s): Davis, Francelia Adelaide
Subject(s): Rain


Rain, and Rain and Rain,
All through the nights and days,
While beautiful Summer bedrenched and cold
Goes speeding along the ways.

Darkness and silence in wood and field;
Dullness in street and mart;
And all the rain's sadness so strange and vague
Trembling within man's heart.

Sun on the fields and the sweet wet woods,
Light in the bustling street,
Warm tender liftings of growing things
Beaten to deep retreat.

Joy like the birth of a great glad love
Into a life of pain
Comes to earth in a day of sun
After the rain ... the rain!
