APRIL RAIN

by Robert Loveman

It isn’t raining rain to me
It’s raining daffodils;
In every dimpled drop I see
Wild flowers on the hill.

The clouds of gray engulf the day,
And overwhelm the town;
It isn’t raining rain to me,
It’s raining roses down.

It isn’t raining rain to me,
But fields of clover bloom,
Where every buccaneering bee
May find a bed and room.

A health unto the happy
A fig for him who frets!
It isn’t raining rain to me,
It’s raining violets.
