Poems (Piatt)/Volume 2/A Rainy Day
A RAINY DAY.[FOR A LITTLE BOY.]
Do? Like the things in the garden. Oh,
Just keep quiet awhile and grow.
Just keep quiet awhile and grow.
Do? Like the bird. It shuts its wings
And waits for the sun? Do you hear?—it sings!
And waits for the sun? Do you hear?—it sings!
Do? Like the lilies. Let it beat;
Nestle below it and be sweet.
Nestle below it and be sweet.
