It Is Raining Today

Scanty or plenty Could be summed up fairly Discriminating the day's full or measured With days past adored and cared Deluge or famine is nature's game And I lack the ken to perceive the same Seems scanty when struck with parchedness And plenty when brimming with affluence Despite that life goes on Irrespective of what happens Entailing a little pain Or a little joy bestowed upon Ceaseless it is raining All through the day and the evening Stirring memories of rainy day When darkening the sky Comes shy yet bounteous cloud Allaying the fainting earth parched With feverish thirst Seem aqueous gifts deep and pure from firmament Raining down to fill the lap of earth with cheer As if celestial tears brimming over To assuage the heart Of dear earth grief-stricken by love's thirst Oh little star rain, my dear What you are, I wonder Come with cloud with band to melt down over And go alone in silence humbler To come back again When called for to perform by your master arcane Oh little star I wonder When beneath your cool showers Slumber in peace grief-stricken flowers And the verdant grass comes astir Oh little star profusely rain down Until in your life-refreshing nectar I may drown For my heart is heavy and cloudy today And I hope to get some rain right away Joy and pain you may bring concurrently For in everybody's life comes cloud but for a while Rain without cloud is implausible And cloud without rain is futile
