I love this poem, written anonymously in the late 1400s, because of the humanity behind it. It's as though the author had some grander poem in mind while writing the first two lines, but the thought of rain spurs the burst of feeling, the sudden shift, and the quick ending.
O Western Wind
O Western wind, when wilt thou blow
That the small rain down can rain?
Christ, that my love were in my arms,
And I in my bed again!
One of my all-time favorites.
