Okay, I already sent the first version in (since I tend to forget to submit if I don't do it right away), but I suppose I can still send in a substituted version. Does this one work? (The sestet is unchanged).
The Rain In Spain
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains,
But I intend to find out one fine day
Just why the rain's resolved to stay away
From mountains, and what sorry falsehood stains
Their reputation that the clouds take pains
To pass them by in April or in May?
Whatever game the Spanish raindrops play
Is different from the game of English rains.
If Spain has different raindrops, are its leaves
As well distinct? Its stars? Its moons? Its suns?
(My questions multiply to fill vast sheaves
And new ones venture forth with every breath!).
In fair Pamplona, where the great bull runs,
Is there no rain, just blood and sand and death?
