Again! / Another day of rain! / It has rained for years. / It never clears. / The clouds come down so low / They drag and drip / Across each hill-top's tip. / In progress slow / They blow in from the sea / Eternally; / Hang heavily and black, / And then roll back; / And rain and rain and rain, / Both drifting in and drifting out again.
They come down to the ground, / These clouds, where the ground is high; / And, lest the weather fiend forget / And leave one hidden spot unwet, / The fog comes up to the sky! / And all our pavement of planks and logs / Reeks with the rain and steeps in the fogs / Till the water rises and sinks and presses / Into your bonnets and shoes and dresses; / And every outdoor-going dunce / Is wet in forty ways at once.
