The Rain

Listen to: 

The Rain (:42)

William H. Davies 

performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode

I hear leaves drinking Rain;

I hear rich leaves on top

Giving the poor beneath

Drop after drop;

'Tis a sweet noise to hear

These green leaves drinking near.

And when the Sun comes out,

After this Rain shall stop,

A wondrous Light will fill

Each dark, round drop;

I hope the Sun shines bright;

'Twill be a lovely sight.
