The sky is overcast with cloud- <br />The sun knows not where his pride lays; <br />A stolid day among untiring days. <br />Continuous thunders, or sounds, loud- <br /> Make the day untrim <br /> Dark and dim. <br /> <br />The Earth looks gloomy under veil <br />'Tis nothing but fearful symmetry <br />Can do him deviated from beauty <br />As he thinks, better be undrunk than smile, <br />For all living creatures look fervourless <br />And, matters go pity more or less. <br /> <br />But, in fancy the trees amid these <br />Nod heads, and lose themselves in glee; <br />Out of never-ending pensive mood they be <br />After they have been blown by breeze. <br />Moreover, drops of water glitter <br />At the edges of leaves; O, 'tis beyond utter! <br /> <br />At least, twenty or more swans, yet <br />Are fond of wallowing 'mid deep clay; <br />As merry-making is their instinct, and play <br />Joyfully, to forget the woes of lives, abbreviate. <br />Not the hidden sun nor cloudy sky <br />Be cause of their live-long sigh.<br /><br />Pijush Biswas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-a-rainy-day-10/
