The Rain


I hear leaves drinking rain;
I hear rich leaves on top
Giving the poor beneath
Drop after drop;
'Tis a sweet noise to hear
These green leaves drinking near.


And when the Sun comes out,
After this Rain shall stop,
A wondrous Light will fill
Each dark, round drop;
I hope the Sun shines bright;
'Twill be a lovely sight.


Written by William Henry Davies

Exhilaration is the Breeze (1118)

Exhilaration is the Breeze
That lifts us from the Ground
And leaves us in another place
Whose statement is not found --


Returns us not, but after time
We soberly descend
A little newer for the term
Upon Enchanted Ground --


by Emily Dickinson
Painting: Impression III (Concert). 1911, by Kandinsky

I. Life / XIV. The Secret


Some things that fly there be, --
Birds, hours, the bumble-bee:
Of these no elegy.

Some things that stay there be, --
Grief, hills, eternity:
Nor this behooveth me.

There are, that resting, rise.
Can I expound the skies?
How still the riddle lies!
