Between the Rains

"The monotone of the rain is beautiful,
And the sudden rise and slow relapse
Of the long multitudinous rain.


American refugees

The sun on the hills is beautiful,


Pouf

Or a captured sunset sea-flung,

Bannered with fire and gold.

Tear

A face I know is beautiful--


Gap

With fire and gold of sky and sea,


Lynch

And the peace of long warm rain."


Enter dream
From "Chicago Poems" by Carl Sandburg, 1916.
