Rain Fairies.
Fitter! patter! Drops of rain Fall upon the window pane, From the clouds each fairy floats For the rain-drops are their boaUritter! patter! Through the air Swift they hasten here and there, For they have a lot to do Ere the sky again is blue. Fitter? patters Now they fly O’er the meadow lands so do*. To refresh the earth they strive. And the drooping flowers revive. Fitter! patter! Next they meet On the pavements in the street. Driving all the dust away That has lain there through the day. Fitter' patter! Through the town They go dancing up ami down, Not a speck of dirt in seen, Every roof and gutter’s clean. Fitter! patter! Fairy feet Soon have inatk the country sweet; Then they beckon to the sun. Telling him their work is done. EVA C. ROGERS.
