The rain is coming,
This I said to myself,
As I felt the whistle nigh.
The rain is coming;
This I said to myself,
As I felt the tremble near.
The rain is coming;
This I said to myself,
As I heard the wind scowl.
The rain is coming;
This I said to myself,
As I felt soothing cascades,
Wash streaming drops from my sight.
The rain is here;
This I said to myself,
As I felt searing splash
Rend the barrenness upon which I rode.
The rain is here;
This I said to myself,
As I watched the falling spring wash off infertility,
And the bleak sky breaking into a new dawn.
