November Rain (Villianelle)

I wake up to the beat of rain

the metal roof echoes the sound

November can be so mundane

 

my happiness I can’t contain

it isn’t snow upon the ground

I wake up to the beat of rain

 

continuing the same refrain

a steady pattern can be found

November can be so mundane

 

the price we pay for summer’s gain

dead leaves are lying all around

I wake up to the beat of rain

 

I’m in control of my domain

although sometimes I feel housebound 

November can be so mundane

 

How much water can we sustain?

as we expect another round

I wake up to the beat of rain

November can be so mundane
