German Rain
Charles Sorley
1895 to 1915
The heat came down and sapped away my powers.
The laden heat came down and drowned my brain,
Till through the weight of overcoming hours
I felt the rain.
Then suddenly I saw what more to see
I never thought: old things renewed, retrieved.
The rain that fell in England fell on me,
And I believed.
Charles Sorley's German Rain
I am busy working to bring Charles Sorley's "German Rain" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Charles Sorley's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "German Rain" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
