Oh what a blessed interval	A
A rainy day may be	B
No lightning flash nor tempest roar	C
But one incessant steady pour	C
Of dripping melody	B
When from their sheltering retreat	D
Go not with voluntary feet	D
The storm beleaguered family	B
Nor bird nor animal	A
	-
When business takes a little lull	A
And gives the merchantman	E
A chance to seek domestic scenes	F
To interview the magazines	F
Convoke his growing clan	E
The boys and girls almost unknown	E
And get acquainted with his own	E
As well the household budget scan	E
Or write a canticle	A
	-
When farmer John ransacks the barn	E
Hunts up the harness old	G
Nigh twenty years since it was new	E
Puts in an extra thong or two	E
And hopes the thing will hold	G
Without that missing martingale	A
That bothered Dobbin head and tail	A
He gentle equine safe controlled	G
But by a twist of yarn	E
	-
When busy fingers may provide	H
A savory repast	H
To whet the languid appetite	H
And give to eating a delight	H
Unknown since seasons past	H
Avaunt ill cookery whose ranks	I
Develop dull dyspeptic cranks	I
Who forced to diet or to fast	H
Ergo have dined and died	H
	-
It is a day of rummaging	J
The closets to explore	C
To take down from the dusty shelves	K
The books that never read themselves	K
And turning pages o'er	L
Discover therein safely laid	H
The bills forgot and never paid	H
Somehow that of the corner store	C
Such dunning memories bring	J
	-
It gives a chance to liquidate	H
Epistolary debts	M
To write in humble penitence	M
Acknowledging the negligence	M
The sin that so besets	M
And cheer the hearts that hold us dear	N
Who've known and loved us many a year	N
Back to the days of pantalets	M
And swinging on the gate	H
	-
It gives occasion to repair	O
Unlucky circumstance	M
To intercept the ragged ends	M
And for arrears to make amends	M
By mending hose and pants	M
The romping young ones to re dress	M
Without those signs of hole y ness	M
That so bespeak the mendicants	M
By every rip and tear	O
	-
It is a time to gather round	H
The old piano grand	H
Its dulcet harmonies unstirred	H
Since Lucy sang so like a bird	H
And played with graceful hand	H
Like Lucy's voice in pathos sweet	H
Repeating softly Shall we meet	H
Is only in the heavenly land	H
Such clear soprano sound	H
	-
It is a time for happy chat	H
En cercle tete a tete	H
Discuss the doings of the day	H
The club the sermon or the play	H
Affairs of church and state	H
Fond reminiscence to explore	C
The pleasant episodes of yore	C
And so till raindrops all abate	H
As erst on Ararat	H
	-
Ah yes a rainy day may be	B
A blessed interval	A
A little halt for introspect	H
A little moment to reflect	H
On life's discrepancy	B
Our puny stint so poorly done	E
The larger duties scarce begun	E
And so may conscience culpable	A
Suggest a remedy	B
