RAIN
Murk and grey in. the sky above, Smoke and damp in the town below, And the drizzling rain between; ' Only in eastern skies afar. Where Stand dim hills enwrapped in mist. ... : One line of light is seen. Black dots against the grey above. Two rain-bedraggled sparrows fly. To shelter on a tree: This, earth is like a prison-house; Will these relentless bats of rain. Ne’er let the sunshine free? —By “Excelsior Elf,” aged 17, Hawera.
