If your mother has ever told you to stay inside when it rains, you will know just how this child felt.
--------------------
"Oh, where do you come from,
You little drops of rain,
Pitter patter, pitter patter,
Down the window pane?
"They won't let me walk,
And they won't let me go
Out of doors at all today.
"Tell me, little raindrops,
Is that the way you play,
Pitter patter, pitter patter,
All the rainy day?
"They say I'm very naughty
But I've nothing else to do
But sit here at the window;
I should like to play with you."
The little raindrops cannot speak,
But "pitter-patter-pat"
Means,"We can play on this side,
Why can't you play on that?"
You little drops of rain,
Pitter patter, pitter patter,
Down the window pane?
"They won't let me walk,
And they won't let me go
Out of doors at all today.
"Tell me, little raindrops,
Is that the way you play,
Pitter patter, pitter patter,
All the rainy day?
"They say I'm very naughty
But I've nothing else to do
But sit here at the window;
I should like to play with you."
The little raindrops cannot speak,
But "pitter-patter-pat"
Means,"We can play on this side,
Why can't you play on that?"
