Storm again these pelting rains That blitz upon the surface Of the pond, our sheltered games, And all the corporal purchase. Remember, you had wanted Rains to drown the world without, To deafen what had haunted You in yawning lifelong doubt. None appeared so you had joked And couldn't see the reason For the image uninvoked, But now it's come to season. Some loves survive on rations, Thriving through the budding form; Some like the weather's passion, Fleeting as the sudden storm.
