SONG on ETHR RAIN DRoPs.

IN mefrlly, meTFily now we come
From our home far up in the sky,
30 cheerlly, cheerily, one by one,
Down to the green earth, away we HE.
We dance along our Joyous merry way, -
Foot steps haste with skipping measure,
Merrily sing we all the live long day,
Work is play and task is pleasure
We're hurrying, hurrying through the air
Making music where 'er we pass.
Our lively songs, We hear them every where,
EChoing from your window glass.
We rOguishy kiss the CLASSY, green leaves,
Wake the birds in their rosy bowers,
lingerie play underline shady trees
- Hide and go Seek'' with the flowers.
We hasten along in a joyful troop
And light on the white crested wave
The waters dash the laughing group,
And we rise from watery grave.
A loving train, huuying hand IN hand,
We come from our curtaned home above,
Then wildly warning, scattered band,
Haste to perform our work of love.
The sun looks out on the fresh glowing scene,
And quickly sends each swltt-winged ray
To brooks and flowers and foliage green,
To call us on our homeward way.
Then from the waters the leaves, the flowers,
Up we mount on zephyr wing,
Children of theSky are summer showers,
Oh, blessings bright to earth we bring.
