The document is a poem about rain falling after a period of dust and heat. It describes how the rain clatters on roofs like hoofbeats and gushes out of overflowing gutters. The rain pours heavily across window panes and rushes down the street in a muddy river down the gutter. The poem expresses how welcome and beautiful the rain is after a dry spell.

6. How beautiful is
the rain!
After the dust and
heat,
In the broad and
fiery street,
In the narrow
lane,
How beautiful is
the rain!

7. How it clatters
along the roofs,
Like the tramp of
hoofs
How it gushes and
struggles out
From the throat
of the overflowing
spout!

8. Across the window-
pane
It pours and pours;
And swift and wide,
With a muddy tide,
Like a river down the
gutter roars
The rain, the welcome
rain!
