'Rain In Summer' Poem in english :
How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs!
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat of the
overflowing spout!Water gushing out from the mouth of a pipe.
Across the window-pane
It pours and pours;
And swift and wide,
With a muddy tide,
Like a river down the gutter roars
The rain, the welcome rain!
From the neighbouring school
Come the boys,
With more than their
wontedUsual
noiseAnd commotion;
And down the wet streets
Sail their
mimic fleetsNot actual fleets, paper boats.
,Till the
treacherous poolA pool which does not help the boats but sinks them.
IngulfsPulls into the water.
them in its whirlingAnd
turbulentStormy.
ocean.- H.W.Longfellow
