IN THE RAIN.
WHAT a bit of sunshine
Glinting through the green:
While the raindrops patter
On his leafy screen.
Hidden in the maple
Just beyond my pane,
Merry, merry robin,
Singing in the rain!
When some trouble gathers
O'er me like a pall,
And about my pathway
Storms of sorrow fall,
Let the song that charmed me
Cheer me in my pain,
Till some friend shall hear me
Singing in the rain!
