OH, GREY AND TENDER IS THE RAIN By Lizette Woodworth Reese
Oh, gray and tender is the rain,
That drips, drips on the pane!
A hundred things come in the door,
The scent of herbs, the thought of yore.
I see the pool out in the grass,
A bit of broken glass;
The red flags running wet and straight,
Down to the little flapping gate.
Lombardy poplars tall and three,
Across the road I see;
There is no loveliness so plain
As a tall poplar in the rain.
But oh, the hundred things and more,
That come in at the door!
-- The smack of mint, old joy, old pain,
Caught in the gray and tender rain.
Thanks, LWR, for helping us get through these wet April days!
