Raindrops, raindrops, what are you doing
Up in the sky so gray?
We're going to Earth a wooing, wooing
The flowers that turn our way.
One raindrop came, when all were rushing,
(The first one in the race,)
And dainty rose was soon found blushing
For he kissed her upturned face.
Then roses and raindrops held convention.
To see just what was right;
And find what was Sir Knights intention,
But truly twas love at sight
And all the flowers wore diamonds bright
When the sun came into view,
AS the dainty Rose and her raindrop Knight.
Pledged their faith and love anew.

upon the rock?

lightning really did do that?"
"Of course it did" shouted the sergeant, Don't
you see that the characters are freshly formed?"
"Well?"
