Crow — Warnings

No, it won’t rain to-morrow! well, what if the crows

From that withered old cornfield fly,

A-cawing for rain—let them caw, if they like,

With all of that blue in the sky!

Caw away, you old birds, in your rusty black cloaks!

I know that you’re not speaking true!

There are not enough clouds in the world, in a night

To cover up all of that blue!
