April Rain Song
Langston Hughes

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night.

And I love the rain.
