A 11 A ut 11 inn Rain. Under the that is lowly bendintr Down to the earth I watching stand, And up from the west sail the slow clouds, sending Drops of rain to the thirsty land. The trees rejoice, and the rain-cloud passes Over the new -sown fields of grain The golden-rod and the tufted grasses Bow their thanks for the gentle rain. Would that my mind were like the heaven, Only crossed by clouds ot thought; Would that my thoughts like the clouds were given, Known and prized for the good they wrought. Whitewater, Kansas.
