Enjoy English Poetry: A KISS IN THE RAIN

 For poetry lovers.

Love and rain are extremely common in spring. 

And what can be more romantic than kiss in the rain ?

Let's read and enjoy this marvelous poem!

One stormy morn I chanced to meet 

    A lassie in the town; 

Her locks were like the ripened wheat, 

    Her laughing eyes were brown.

I watched her as she tripped along 

    Till madness filled my brain, 

And then--and then--I know 'twas wrong-- 

    I kissed her in the rain! 

With rain-drops shining on her cheek, 

    Like dew-drops on a rose, 

The little lassie strove to speak 

    My boldness to oppose; 

She strove in vain, and quivering 

    Her fingers stole in mine; 

And then the birds began to sing, 

    The sun began to shine. 

Oh, let the clouds grow dark above, 

    My heart is light below; 

'Tis always summer when we love, 

    However winds may blow; 

And I'm as proud as any prince, 

    All honors I disdain: 

She says I am her rain beau since 

    I kissed her in the rain. 

                         Samuel Minturn Peck.
