OUT IN THE RAIN.

Down in the meadow, one summer day, Went two little cousins, Clarrie and May.

Pitty-pat, patter, came drops one by one

Two little cousins beginning to run.

Over the stubble the little feet go,

Rain-drops are drenching from top to toe.

Dripping and tired, they enter the gate;

Two watching mothers the little strays wait.

Wet skirt and jacket are off in a trice,

Two little cousins are soon dry and nice.

Down in the meadow, when ceases the rain,

Two little cousins will frolic again.
