Rain and wind, and wind and rain. Will the Summer come again? Rain on houses, on the street, Wetting all the people's feet, Though they run with might and main. Rain and wind, and wind and rain. Snow and sleet, and sleet and snow. Will the Winter never go? What do beggar children do With no fire to cuddle to, P'raps with nowhere warm to go? Snow and sleet, and sleet and snow. Hail and ice, and ice and hail, Water frozen in the pail. See the robins, brown and red, They are waiting to be fed. Poor dears, battling in the gale! Hail and ice, and ice and hail. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOT BY THE SEA by SARA TEASDALE PRELUDES: 1-4 (COMPLETE) by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT THE AGED STRANGER; AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR by FRANCIS BRET HARTE AT THE WEDDING MARCH by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS AD PATRIAM by CLINTON SCOLLARD |
