I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers                                                                                                                                                           I bear light shade for the leaves when laid                                                                                                                                                                      In their noonday dreams                                                                                                                                                                                                         From my wings are shaken the dews that waken                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The sweet buds every one                                                                                                                                                                                                                  When rocked to rest on their mother’s breast                                                                                                                                                                                  As she dances about the sun                                                                                                                                                                                                                             I wield the flail of the lashing hail                                                                                                                                                                                                            And whiten the green plains under                                                                                                                                                                                               And then again I dissolve it in rain                                                                                                                                                  And laugh as I pass in thunder
