THE RAIN (T.hursday, August 13)

The rain is coming down down today, The clouds are overfiowing, Iris very dark along the way,
 Where is 1t all agoing2 Some goes down the valley,
 Some goes toward the sea, Some goes in the garden
 And some around the tree. It thundered very loud
 As the rain fell all around, To water all the landscape,
 Beneath the big black cloud. But now the rain has abated
 And the sky once more is clear. The grass will grow about us,
 And fill our hearts with cheer. The birds will sing again.
 The same delightful song. We'll hope for still more rain
 As summer passes on. It waters all the hillside
 And all the mountains too, And all the little glenS
 And always pleases me and you. It purifies the water
 And cleanses all the air. And makes a beautiful world,
 4 world that's very fair.
