Time for a Poem – The wind has such a rainy sound

September 24, 2013 by Rebecca Newman

THE WIND HAS SUCH A RAINY SOUND by Christina Rossetti

The wind has such a rainy sound
Moaning through the town,
The sea has such a windy sound,
Will the ships go down?
The apples in the orchard
Tumble from their tree.
Oh will the ships go down, go down,
In the windy sea?

  You’re very welcome, Tricia. 🙂 (The weather in Perth is a bit like this this week!)

Beautiful. I’ll have to look for more of her poems, now. Thank you!
