Free Poems About the Rain for Kids
Rainy Day
Bee Bowers
Three little ducks walk out in the rain.
Quack! Quack! Quack!
Each with his waterproof feathers
Folded along his back,
Each with his little pink rubbers
Waddling into town.
Each finds a pond of which he is fond
And stands in it upside down!
Rainy Day Song
Violet Alleyn Storey
The spring rain is soft rain.
The soft rain is sweet
And warm, and falls gently
On each country street.
And out in the soft rain,
Pink blossoms now blow;
In sweet rain and warm rain,
Blue violets grow.
Little Raindrops
J.F. Kinsey
Little raindrops fill the fountains,
Little birds sing in the trees,
Little sand grains make the mountains,
Little hives are filled with bees.
All the little things are useful,
And the children must be too,
There is always work made ready
For the little hands to do.
Sky Laundry
Marie Louise Allen
Last night, the rain was busy
With washing out the sky––
This morning, white and fluffy,
The clouds are out to dry.
Rubbers and Galoshes
Marie Louise Allen
Rubbers are for rainy days,
Galoshes are for snow.
They make my feet walk quietly,
Everywhere I go.
In summer, when I walk, my feet
Go “Crackle, crackle,” down the street.
But when it rains, or when there’s snow,
My feet so very softly go.
With rubbers or galoshes on,
I cannot hear my feet.
Without them, I go “Crackle, crackle,
Crackle,” down the street!
The Shower
Unknown
Hear the rain, patter, patter,
On the pane, clatter, clatter!
Down it pours, helter, pelter;
Quick indoors! Shelter, shelter!
See it gush, and roar and whirl,
Swiftly rush, eddy, and swirl
Through the street, down the gutters!
How it splashes—but we don’t care
Though it dashes everywhere.
We don’t care, for, peeping through—
See! Up there—a patch of blue!
And the sun, in spite of rain,
Has begun to smile again.
