"April Rain"
It isn't raining rain for me,
It's raining daffodils;
In every dimpled drop I see
Wild flowers on distant hills.
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
When any 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.
See a man in the rain who points out the fact that it isn't raining rain, "but daffodils". See the daffodils. See big "dimpled drops" and paint upon them the "wild flowers on distant hills."
Repeat the picture a couple of times and then say the verse. Do the same with the other verses. Do not learn this by repetition. Be true to the method, make a picture and see it each time you review.
If a single word is omitted or substituted, put special auditory emphasis on it, speak it louder than the other words of the line, and you will have no trouble with it after that.
