“There Will Come Soft Rains” by Sara Teasdale
"There Will Come Soft Rains" by Sara Teasdale
War Time
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
1
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
3
And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire
5
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
7
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
9
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
11
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
