<h5 id="id00328"> SUMMER SHOWER.</h5>
<p id="id00329">A drop fell on the apple tree,<br/>
Another on the roof;<br/>
A half a dozen kissed the eaves,<br/>
And made the gables laugh.<br/></p>
<p id="id00330">A few went out to help the brook,<br/>
That went to help the sea.<br/>
Myself conjectured, Were they pearls,<br/>
What necklaces could be!<br/></p>
<p id="id00331">The dust replaced in hoisted roads,<br/>
The birds jocoser sung;<br/>
The sunshine threw his hat away,<br/>
The orchards spangles hung.<br/></p>
<p id="id00332">The breezes brought dejected lutes,<br/>
And bathed them in the glee;<br/>
The East put out a single flag,<br/>
And signed the fete away.<br/></p>
