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.
