Rain much needed for gardeners and farmers came today

William Henry Davies was a Welsh poet 1871 - 1940 who was an adventurer who loved train jumping in the States until he lost his leg in the process and returned to England. After a tough time he gradually became a respected well known poet.

I hear leaves drinking rain; 
I hear rich leaves on top 
Giving the poor beneath 
Drop after drop; 
Tis a sweet noise to hear 
These green leaves drinking near.
And when the Sun comes out, 
After this Rain shall stop, 
​A wondrous Light will fill 
Each dark, round drop; 
I hope the Sun shines bright; 
'Twill be a lovely sight. 

William Henry Davies
