Rain and wind, and wind and rain. Will the Summer come again? Rain on houses, on the street, Wetting all the people's feet, Though they run with might and main. Rain and wind, and wind and rain. Snow and sleet, and sleet and snow. Will the Winter never go? What do beggar children do With no fire to cuddle to, P'raps with nowhere warm to go? Snow and sleet, and sleet and snow. Hail and ice, and ice and hail, Water frozen in the pail. See the robins, brown and red, They are waiting to be fed. Poor dears, battling in the gale! Hail and ice, and ice and hail. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RED TURTLENECK by KAREN SWENSON MARIANNA ALCOFORANDO by SARA TEASDALE DOWN-HILL ON A BICYCLE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER A GOODNIGHT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS GUILIELMUS REX by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH LINES WRITTEN AT THE GRAVE OF ALEXANDER DUMAS by GWENDOLYN B.
