RAIN AFTER DROUGHT, by DORA SIGERSON SHORTER Poet's Biography First Line: All night the small feet of the rain Last Line: Until the dawn began. Alternate Author Name(s): Sigerson, Dora; Shorter, Mrs. Clement Subject(s): Rain | ||||||||
ALL night the small feet of the rain Within the garden ran, And gentle fingers tapped the pane Until the dawn began. The rill-like voices called and sung The slanting roof beside; "The children of the clouds have come; Awake! awake!" they cried. "Weep no more the drooping rose Nor mourn the thirsting tree, The little children of the storm Have gained their liberty." All night the small feet of the rain About my garden ran, Their rill-like voices called and cried Until the dawn began. | 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 THE WIND ON THE HILLS by DORA SIGERSON SHORTER |
