James Henry Leigh Hunt - A Night-Rain In SummerJames Henry Leigh Hunt - A Night-Rain In Summer
Work rating: Medium


Open the window, and let the air Freshly blow upon face and hair, And fill the room, as it fills the night, With the breath of the rain`s sweet might. Hark! the burthen, swift and prone! And how the odorous limes are blown! Stormy Love`s abroad, and keeps Hopeful coil for gentle sleeps. Not a blink shall burn to-night In my chamber, of sordid light; Nought will I have, not a window-pane, `Twixt me and the air and the great good rain, Which ever shall sing me sharp lullabies; And God`s own darkness shall close mine eyes; And I will sleep, with all things blest, In the pure earth-shadow of natural rest.
