City Rain

City Rain Rain in the city! I love to see it fall Slantwise where the buildings crowd Red brick and all. Streets of shiny wetness Where the taxies go, With people and umbrellas all Bobbing to and fro. Rain in the City! I love to hear it drip When I am cosy in my room Snug as any ship, With toys spread on the table, with a picture book or two, And the rain like a rumbling tomb that sings Through everything I do.
