I hear leaves drinking Rain;

I hear rich leaves on top

Giving the poor beneath

Drop after drop;

'Tis a sweet noise to hear

These green leaves drinking near.

And when the sun comes out,

After this rain shall stop,

A wondrous light will fill

Each dark,round drop;

I hope the sun shines bright;

'Twill be a lovely sight.

- W H Davies
