Today was wonderful in the San Francisco bay area. For the first time in months, we got a “real” rain with rivulets and puddles. It rained all day, and it is forcast to rain again tomorrow. It’s been a very dry year, and we need the water.
The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson, Rain
The monotone of the rain is beautiful,
And the sudden rise and slow relapse
Of the long multitudinous rain.
Poem by Carl Sandburg, Monotone
The night rain, dripping unseen,
Comes endlessly kissing my face and my hands.
Poem by D.H. Lawrence, Embankment at Night, before the War
