Rain do stay I love you so

The way your droplets come and go

And also in the way you sound

Falling gently on the ground

And in the way you seek each face

Each small and dark and lowly place

And also in the way you feel

Cool and wet and clean and real

And then I like the way you fall

On each and every fence and wall

And drip into the very light

That wakes us up and leaves at night

And don't forget the way you creep

Into ground so dark and deep

And always find the fastest way

To points beneath the earth to stay

But mostly you are kind and spare

Each small frail nest and bed and lair.
