April Rain

It is not raining rain for me,
It's raining daffodils;

In every dimpled drop I see

Wild flowers on the hills.

The clouds of gray engulf the day
And overwhelm the town;

It is not raining rain to me,

It's raining roses down.


It is not raining rain to me,

But fields of clover bloom,

where any buccaneering bee

Can find a bed and room.


Health unto the happy,

A fig for him who frets!

It is not raining rain to me,

It's raining violets.

--Robert Loveman
