Rain blessings

Rain rhythms :

 'and with rainy eyes. Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth'.
From Richard ll by William Shakespeare.

It rains in my heart
As it rains on the town:
What is this languorous ache
That wounds my heart?

Gentle, the sound of rain
Battering roof and ground.
How sweet the sound of rain
For the heart in pain!

Paul Verlaine / Translated by Manu Bazzano (Zen Poems) MQ Publications Ltd.
