Testament
Oh, let it be a night of lyric rain
And singing breezes, when my bell is tolled.
I have so loved the rain that I would hold
Last in my ears its friendly, dim refrain.
I shall lie cool and quiet, who have lain
Fevered, and watched the book of day unfold.
Death will not see me flinch; the heart is bold
That pain has made incapable of pain.
Kinder the busy worms than ever love;
Kinder the busy worms than ever love;
It will be peace to lie there, empty-eyed,
My bed made secret by the leveling showers,
My breast replenishing the weeds above.
And you will say of me,
“Then has she died?Perhaps I should have sent a spray of flowers.”
Dorothy Parker

I love the sound of rain, the smell of rain and fragrance. The above poem by Dorothy Parker captures it all. I can just imagine lying in bed on a warm summer night, hearing the comforting sound of rain falling on my roof and wearing a lovely fragrance. Strange Invisible Perfumes creates such magical and beautiful fragrances.
