When The Rain Falls

“Into each life, some rain must fall”

The old on the pavements— hungry and wary.

But when it rains in the night,

The children hear a call

Of Pan and his fairy!

Walk the path, my dear

Of sunken ships and clawing fear

Of forgotten towns of dreams-come-true

A sky with a rainbow hue,

And in the morn grass dew

After the rain falls.

Puddles on a yellow-road

Reflecting the moons glow,

The singing of a merry toad,

The child’s jovial ‘hey-ho!’

Dancing in the rain for fun.

When the rain falls.

Let the rain fall today!

Be the sky—a misty haze!

Of adventure and merriment,

Of misery and sorrow.

For as he said,

“Into each life some rain must fall”
