Explore "A Song of Rain" by C.J. Dennis on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Because a little vagrant wind veered south from China Sea; / Or else, because a sun-spot stirred; and yet again, maybe / Because some idle god in play breathed on an errant cloud, / The heads of twice two million folk in gratitude are bowed.
Patter, patter. Boolconmatta, / Adelaide and Oodnadatta, / Pepegoona, parched and dry / Laugh beneath a dripping sky. / Riverina's thirsting plain / Knows the benison of rain. / Ararat and Arkaroola / Render thanks with Tantanoola / For the blessings they are gaining, / And it's raining -- raining -- raining!
