Classic Poem

Sunshine jest a-comin' down
'Crost de hill en plain!
Now Miss Nancy drive ter town—
Goodby, Mister Rain!
She gwine buy dat Easter hat;
(Won't she look too sweet in dat?)
Make dem beaux say: “Whar she at?”
Goodby, Mister Rain!

Lizard lookin' mighty spry,
Run lak railroad train!
Spread he blanket out ter dry—
Goodby, Mister Rain!
Rabbit rise up in de grass—
See Miss Nancy gwine pass;
Bluebird sing: “She come at las'!”
Goodby Mister Rain!

Wes' Win' say: “I'll run a race
Down dat hill en plain;
Gwine ter kiss Miss Nancy face!”
Goodby, Mister Rain!
Red Rose say: “I up ter dat!
She gwine wear me on her hat,—
Make dem beaux say ‘Whar she at?’”
Goodby, Mister Rain!
