Verses [by Robert Loveman] [1920]

Robert Loveman's poem, "the Rain Song" [also known as "April Rain"], became very well known and was anthologized in many books of verse. It later inspired the Al Jolson song "April Showers."  Rain Song is uncluded in this fine book of Loveman's verse and is reproduced below.

It isn’t raining rain to me,

It’s raining daffodils;

In every dimpled drop I see

Wild flowers on the hill.

The clouds of grey engulf the day

And overwhelm the town;

It isn’t raining rain to me,

It’s raining roses down.

It isn’t raining rain to me,

But fields of clover bloom,

Where any a buccaneering bee

May find a bed and room.

A health unto the happy

A fig for him who frets.

It isn’t raining rain to me,

It’s raining violets.
