The Newly Wetted Ground

Walking on the newly wetted ground, After a long spell of Winter drought, I ponder how rain never fails to astound: This valuable shower we can't do without! As I tread on the browne'd earth Browned by the shower of yester-night, I wonder where I got such a worth: To be watched with such close oversight! Someone's delivering service to me, Loyally, like an hotel room keeper! Yet there is a dichotomy: I pay nothing to the caterer! There is some love expressed in rain. It's not only soothing but sustaining as well. Especially after a long drought strain, I rejoice that some rain fell!
