Rain on the Down

Arthur Symons (1865–1945)

NIGHT, and the down by the sea,

And the veil of rain on the down;

And she came through the mist and the rain to me

From the safe warm lights of the town.

The rain shone in her hair,

And her face gleam’d in the rain;

And only the night and the rain were there

As she came to me out of the rain.
