Lying in bed, so snug and warm <br />we listen to the awesome storm. <br />The lightning flash, the thunder’s roll <br />bring trembling to the bravest soul. <br /> <br />Under these sounds, a gentler strain. <br />The pitter-patter of the rain, <br />singing its plaintive melody <br />in hydrophobic harmony <br /> <br />The quiet insistence of each shower <br />does not proclaim this mighty power. <br />For every drop the Heavens weep <br />can bring the river fast and deep. <br /> <br />While flash and thunder have their say, <br />the rain can wash the world away<br /><br />Thomas Vaughan Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rain-671/
