A SUMMER SHOWER.
Reading edition
BY GEORGE COOPER.
"Hush!" sighed the leaves; "Hurry, birds, hurry! See yonder sheaves All in a flurry." "Come under quick, Grasshopper, cricket!" Whispered the vines Down in the thicket. "Hide," lisped the grass, "Lady-bug, spider; Ant, here's a place; Fly, sit beside her." "Rest, katydid, Here in my bushes; Butterfly, too; How the rain rushes!" Why, there's the sun! Hark the birds singing, "Good-by, dear leaves, Off we'll be winging." "Bee," smiled the rose, "Thank you for calling; Drop in again When the rain's falling."
