A RAINY NIGHT IN DOUGLAS**
(Massachusetts)
A rainy night in Douglas
Mist coming off the snow,
See the off-white piles shrinking
Till the whole lot will go…
It’s spotting up the windows
With ev’ry direction change,
Unfrozen ground will turn to mud
As it does every age!
–
OH…the aquifer is filling
From all this winter snow,
All the private wells are thrilling
‘Cause this summer won’t be low…
I think the mighty Mumford
Might just overflow its banks,
For the rain and snow this winter
We ought to offer thanks!
–Jonathan Caswell
** By the way…try singing this, to “THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS”!!!
