Clarity and vigour in your speaking of these lines will enable you to hear the rainstorm;
Now the words go bumping round the sky,
Like huge empty pearl box on the cobbles of the clouds
Bursting the water butts and tipping the gutters of the sky
On the fells and the gel and the dale with the jelly.
Now the thirsty mouths of the trees are licking their tongues
Into the wet soil, and the grasses suck the rain
Into their stems, and the great humps of hills
Gulps the water like whales and spurt it out
Through the many snouts of springs and fountains.
