Thomas Hardy - An Autumn Rain-Scene
Work rating: Low

There trudges one to a merry-making 
    With sturdy swing, 
On whom the rain comes down.

To fetch the saving medicament 
    Is another bent, 
On whom the rain comes down.

One slowly drives his herd to the stall 
    Ere ill befall, 
On whom the rain comes down.

This bears his missives of life and death 
    With quickening breath, 
On whom the rain comes down.

One watches for signals of wreck or war 
    From the hill afar, 
On whom the rain comes down.

No care if he gain a shelter or none, 
    Unhired moves on, 
On whom the rain comes down.

And another knows nought of its chilling fall 
    Upon him at all, 
On whom the rain comes down.

October 1904
