A SONG OF THE RAIN.
The rain swept over the hill, The rain fell steep m. the street. Said the yeoman, ''I cannot till!" .Said the lovers, "We cannot meet!" ■Still the Rain. King rode m power, Setting his storm-clouds free, , Nursing. the fruit and the flower, Tending the lawn and the leaJ "But I cannot play," sobbed the child ; ' My daisies are all so wet !" And the Rain King hearing, smiled, But his heart grew full, with regret. He lias stalled his steed m the west; He has gathered his clouds away.: "Lovers may sorrow and toilers rest, "But the children," lie said, "must play!" .-■■■ '; ; — Will H. Ogilvie.
