... So who cares if its faux. After the snow, cold rain and wind - I'll take it!
Rain in Spring
There fell a beautiful clear rain
with no admixture of fog or snow
and this was, and no other thing,
the very sign of the start of Spring.
Not the longing for a lover
nor the sentiment of starting over,
but this clear and refreshing rain
falling without haste or strain.
