April Rain Song by Langston Hughes

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with
silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes still pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our
roof at night—

And I love the rain.

—Langston Hughes
