VII. the gentle rain which waters
 
the gentle rain which waters keeps me in the
house today
though it prevents my hoeing it is of far more
worth
 
if it should cause the seeds to rot in the ground
it would still be good for the grass
being good for the grass it would be good for
me
 
Mar 8, 1861
earth after rain was bare
 
Apr 3, 1856
almost forgotten sound of rain on the roof
 
May 25, 1860
the horizon the slate color of falling rain
 
– Henry David Thoreau from Walden, Solitude (1854) and The Journals
