All about us we could hear the felty beat of the
raindrops on the soft dust of the farmyard.
Somewhere a storm was gathering, but only a small cloud had scattered some
raindrops lightly, sprinkling the road and the sappy leaves.
We find him next, or rather get back to him, standing forlorn in the cold autumn rain at a suburban street corner in Blackburg; and it seems right to explain now that the
raindrops falling upon him there were really not dark and gummy; they only failed to make his face and hands less so.
The rustle of the poplar leaves about the house worried her, it sounded so like pattering
raindrops, and the full, faraway roar of the gulf, to which she listened delightedly at other times, loving its strange, sonorous, haunting rhythm, now seemed like a prophecy of storm and disaster to a small maiden who particularly wanted a fine day.
A heavy, lowering storm cloud had blown up, and big
raindrops were falling.
I put a small pot of water in the cage, though they never could have tasted water yet unless they drink the
raindrops off the beech leaves.
Every thread of that old attire has become faded and thin under the stroke of
raindrops, the burn of sunbeams, and the stress of winds.
Anne awoke to find
raindrops pattering against her window and shadowing the pond's gray surface with widening rings; hills and sea were hidden in mist, and the whole world seemed dim and dreary.
His clothes were shiny from the wet;
raindrops hung from his beard.
He thought of the nights in the barn when it rained and he lay awake hearing the drumming of the
raindrops and smelling the warm smell of horses and of hay.
While we were walking over it, along with a party of horsemen, I noticed that even the larger
raindrops made it shake.
How it "wuthered" and how the big
raindrops poured down and beat against the pane!
