The Beckoning Rain















Rain, why are you laughing crazily?
What are you trying to convey?
Why in the world are you so glad?
What do want from me today?
Yes, I'll admit it: I 've been sad;
I yearn to laugh my fears away.

Rain, why are you singing happily?
What is this joy you can't contain?
Your lively, light-soaked melody
Dazzles my trembling windowpane.
Why are you serenading me,
Beckoning me with your refrain?

Rain, I know you're dancing now for me!
Each droplet has a role to play
In this enchanted happenstance,
This wild, remarkable ballet!
Sweet Downpour, yes, I'll have this dance!
Cocooned here I'll no longer stay.
