A little rain will fill The lily's cup which hardly moists the field.
Edwin Arnold
She waits for me, my lady Earth, Smiles and waits and sighs; I'll say her nay, and hide away, Then take her by surprise.
Mary Mapes Dodge
How it pours, pours, pours, In a never-ending sheet! How it drives beneath the doors! How it soaks the passer's feet! How it rattles on the shutter! How it rumples up the lawn! How 'twill sigh, and moan, and mutter, From darkness until dawn.
Jossiter Johnson
It is not raining to me, It's raining daffodils; In every dimpled drop I see Wild flowers on distant hills.
Robert Loveman
I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one, When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
A breeze came wandering from the sky, Light as the whispers of a dream; He put the o'erhanging grasses by, And softly stooped to kiss the stream, The pretty stream, the flattered stream, The shy, yet unreluctant stream.
William Cullen Bryant
To a crazy ship all winds are contrary.
George Herbert
Madame, bear in mind That princes govern all things--save the wind.
Victor Hugo
