Spring Rain
by Sara Teasdale
From Love Songs Part I

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.
