Rain Rain Rain
Anything about or referencing rain where rain is neither being complained about nor used to symbolise emotional misery, and ideally things about rain BEING GREAT because rain is great.

Excerpt from William Wordsworth's 'Resolution and Independence'
There was a roaring in the wind all night;
The rain came heavily and fell in floods;
But now the sun is rising calm and bright;
The birds are singing in the distant woods;
Over his own sweet voice the Stock-dove broods;
The Jay makes answer as the Magpie chatters;
And all the air is filled with pleasant noise of waters.
All things that love the sun are out of doors;
The sky rejoices in the morning's birth;
The grass is bright with rain-drops;—on the moors
The hare is running races in her mirth;
And with her feet she from the plashy earth
Raises a mist, that, glittering in the sun,
Runs with her all the way, wherever she doth run.

Yes I've had a bit of an internal debate over whether this could count, it being a pretty sad song, but have concluded that 1/ Its not the rain's fault, and 2/ If anything, the implication is that walking in the rain is a more romantic thing to do with someone than walking in non-rain. :) works for me....
