SPRING RAIN I thought I had forgotten,  But it all came back again To-night with the first spring thunder  In a rush of rain. I remembered a darkened doorway  Where we stood while the storm swept by, Thunder gripping the earth  And lightning scrawled on the sky. The passing motor busses swayed,  For the street was a river of rain, Lashed into little golden waves  In the lamp light's stain. With the wild spring rain and thunder  My heart was wild and gay; Your eyes said more to me that night  Than your lips would ever say. . . . I thought I had forgotten,  But it all came back again To-night with the first spring thunder  In a rush of rain.
