How heavy fell the rain that day From burdened clouds of mournful grey. The torrent forced them stay their height - Composure swayed by onerous might. My skin wrung wet with icy chill As mud embraced that sodden hill; But mind of mine had elsewhere gone - 'Twas clouds abandoned I was on. The driving drops advanced their gears To camouflage my sneaking tears - Whence now did swell such floods of pain To see me melt into this rain… On equal bearing now were we: This rain, myself, in harmony.
