@3Rain, rain, go away; come again another day, Little Billie wants to play!@1 What's the reason, do you s pose, that it has to rain? I've been flattenin' my nose up against th' pane For about an hour or so, beggin' for th' rain to go. In th' attic it's no fun 'thout th' other boys. I get countin', one by one, every single noise, An' the raindrops, when they strike, sound so kinder solemn-like. I jus' wait in this one place wishin' it would pass, Watchin' all th' raindrops race down across th' glass; See each big one, when it runs, gobble all th' little ones. @3Rain, rain, go away@1—wish you'd come at night. Guess you knew I'd plans t'day, an' you came fer spite. Seems zif jus' th' days it pours I most want t' be outdoors! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CAMPUS SONNET: TALK by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE OCTOROON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MARJORIE'S WOOING by EMMA LAZARUS DOMESDAY BOOK: HENRY MURRAY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SONG FOR THE FIRST OF THE MONTH by DOROTHY PARKER NIGHT AND DAY: 3 by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
