The Breaking of the Drought

The Breaking of the Drought

By Frederick J. Atwood

Listen!—it rains; it rains!

The prayer of the grass is heard;
The thirsty ground drinks eagerly
As a famished man eats bread.
The moan of the trees is hushed,
And the violets under the banks
Lift up their heads so gratefully,
And smilingly give thanks.
