I'm still reading the poetry of Amy Lowell. This piece was published in 1919 in a volume entitled Pictures of the Floating World.
A Shower
by Amy Lowell
That sputter of rain, flipping the hedge-rows
And making the highways hiss,
How I love it!
And the touch of you upon my arm
As you press against me that my umbrella
May cover you.
Tinkle of drops on stretched silk.
We murmur though green branches.
