RAIN, by RACHEL L. WHITE First Line: O rain, why come on sunday Last Line: Sometimes I make mistakes. Subject(s): Rain; Sabbath; Water; Sunday | ||||||||
O rain, why come on Sunday When I want to wear my best? I would not care if you Come on Monday or Tuesday, That would suit me better. I wear my best on Sunday, Other days I do not mind For they are only school days. In school I learn reading, Writing and arithmetic; Spelling I dislike. To school I must go to learn. My teacher is pretty nice, But she wants my work Just perfect each day, Sometimes I make mistakes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DAT GAL O' MINE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SUNDAY: NEW GUINEA by KARL SHAPIRO SABBATHS: 2001 by WENDELL BERRY SUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAY by PAUL BLACKBURN THE SABBATH OF THE SOUL by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
