Heigh Ho, the Rain
Free texts and images.
| Heigh Ho, the Rain written 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!
