THOSE OLD SONGS by ANNE MATHILDE ROBINSON

First Line: PATTER, PATTER, TIP-TOE LIGHT
Last Line: RAIN IS PUBLISHING A BOOK!
Subject(s): RAIN;

Patter, patter, tip-toe light,
Silver rain awakes the night,
Weaving songs whose lilt will bring
A thirsty world rich comforting.

Lyrics laugh where flowercups nod,
Sonnets stir the friendly sod;
Ode and ballad feed each tree
With supernal ecstasy.

Patter, patter, tip-toe light,
Music filters through the night.
Wake and listen, tinkling brook,
Rain is publishing a book!
