Don’t You Love to Lie and Listen (by Clinton Scollard)

Don’t you love to lie and listen, 

Listen to the rain. 

With its little patter, patter, 

And its tiny clatter, clatter, 

And its silvery spatter, spatter, 

On the roof and on the pane! 

Yes, I love to lie and listen, 

Listen to the rain. 

It’s fairies —Pert anu Plucky, 

Nip and Nimbletoes and Lucky, 

Trip and Trimblenose and Tucky

On the roof and on the pane! 

That’s my dream the while I listen, 

Listen to the rain. 

I can see them running races, 

I can watch their laughing faces 

At their gleeful games and graces, 

On the roof and on the pane!
