  Patter, little drops of rain, Patter on the window-pane. How I love to watch them pass In their races down the glass! Soon the shower will be o’er, Then the sun will shine once more. But I love to hear the rain Beat against the window-pane. Soft and gentle April showers Will bring May-time’s pretty flowers. I think it is pleasant to sit by the window and watch the rain as it falls, sometimes in tiny drops and sometimes in large ones. The warm showers make the grass, trees, and flowers grow. After the shower is over, the grass looks fresh and green. We see the pretty clouds in the sky. The wind moves them about. Sometimes a storm comes, and then we see the lightning and hear the thunder. Four children play in the leaves fallen from a tree. PLAYING IN THE LEAVES When winter-time comes, it gets cold, and the ground is all covered with pure-white crystals of snow. Everything looks so clean and pretty with its white coat on. We see the little snowbirds flying around, and they are so happy picking up seeds for food. A boy leads a team of dogs pulling people on a sled. In the far north it gets very cold, and when the people go anywhere, they hitch dogs to sleds. In the Bible we read that the Lord will make our hearts white as snow if we confess our sins and take him for our Savior. A cabin and its surrounding covered in snow.
