Four short lines that go no further than watching rain fall on field, tree, umbrella and ship. Its brevity and plain repetition of "it rains" make it an easy first poem to say along with a very young child, especially with a finger tracing raindrops on a window.
From A Child's Garden of Verses. See the whole collection.
The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
About this poem
Confirmed as a 4-line poem describing rain on field, tree, umbrellas and ships at sea, matching the chunk file's text and tune note (none given).
Four lines, and one of Stevenson's best-known: rain falls the same on everyone, fields, umbrellas, ships at sea, no favourites. It's often the first Child's Garden of Verses poem a child meets, short enough to learn in one sitting. Best read, obviously, on a properly rainy day, with a real window to point out of.
