The Answering Voice: One Hundred Love Lyrics by Women.  1917.
 
Rain, Rain!
By Zoë Akins
 
RAIN, rain,—fall, fall,
        In a heavy screen—
        That my lover be not seen!
 
Wind, wind,—blow, blow,
        Till the leaves are stirred—        5
        That my lover be not heard!
 
Storm, storm,—rage, rage,
        Like a war around—
        That my lover be not found!
 
… Lark, lark,—hush … hush …        10
        Softer music make—
        That my lover may not wake….
