The rain is over and gone!
William Wordsworth.
What the Birds Say
Do you know what the birds say? The sparrow, the dove,
The linnet and thrush say “I love and I love!”
In the winter they’re silent—the wind is so strong;
What it says I don’t know, but it sings a loud song.
But green leaves, and blossoms, and sunny warm weather,
And singing, and loving, all come back together.
