PRAYER for Rain

Prayer for Rain
The thirsty hills are weary, and they raise
Brown hands, beseaching, to an empty
sky
Choked into silence are their hymns of
praise;
Their thousand voices, faint with waiting,
40, give us rain!"
Parched are valleys, by the summer heat.
Scorched ar the fields, once green with
waving grain.
Lost on a barren waste, the streamlets'
feet;
And painting forests join the sad refrain
Pleading for rain.
o. when will come the gentle, cooling breath
Of soft, moist breezes to Earth's burning
cheek?
When will the skies, now pitless as death,
Weep tears of mercy DER the grasses meek,
Dying for rain?
So long has spread the summers dusty pail
Above the smiling fields and blooming
bowers!
o, when will come the resurrection call.
Waking to life the sleeping buds and
flowers?
Lord, give us rain.
0, how the happy hills will sing once more,
And latent life, that now in darkness
pines,
Bc-gem the fertile valleys, as of yore;
While over all the spring-time glory
When comes the rain
With ripping laughter will the streamlct
flow,
Timing its music to the wild birds song;
In new found JOY, forgetting all its woe,
And bringing comfort to the fields along,
Thankful for rain
Swaying their bossomed censers in the
breeze,
With arms extended, as in fervent prayer,
Like Natures priests will stand the hoary
trees.
Breathing thanksgivings for world so
fair,
Blest by the rain.
A rarer light will glow in arching skies:
A fuller life will gladden. all the EARTH
As sorrows tears gem penitential eyes;
As souls rejoice, who find the ''higher
BIRTH
Pray God for rain.
