Duncan Campbell Scott - Rain And The RobinDuncan Campbell Scott - Rain And The Robin
Work rating: Medium


A ROBIN in the morning, In the morning early, Sang a song of warning, "There`ll be rain, there`ll be rain." Very,very clearly From the orchard Came the gentle horning, "There`ll be rain." But the hasty farmer Cut his hay down, Did not heed the charmer From the orchard, And the mower`s clatter Ceased at noontide, For with drip and spatter Down came the rain. Then the prophet robin Hidden in the crab-tree Railed upon the farmer, "I told you so, I told you so." As the rain grew stronger, And his heart grew prouder, Notes so full and slow Coming blither, louder, "I told you so, I told you so," "I told you so."
