Heigh Ho, the Rain
by William Henry Davies
From Foliage (1913)

The Lark that in heaven dim
  Can match a rainy hour
  With his own music's shower,
Can make me sing like him—
  Heigh ho! The rain!

Sing—when a Nightingale
  Pours forth her own sweet soul
  To hear dread thunder roll
Into a tearful tale—
  Heigh ho! The rain!

Sing—when a Sparrow's seen
  Trying to lie at rest
  By pressing his warm breast
To leaves so wet and green—
  Heigh ho! The rain!
