Edward Thomas: Like the Touch of Rain

- Thomas edw

Edward Thomas

(1878–1917)

 

Like the Touch of Rain

 

Like the touch of rain she was

On a man’s flesh and hair and eyes

When the joy of walking thus

Has taken him by surprise:

 

With the love of the storm he burns,

He sings, he laughs, well I know how,

But forgets when he returns

As I shall not forget her ‘Go now’.

 

Those two words shut a door

Between me and the blessed rain

That was never shut before

And will not open again.
