Pour thee ! O gentle rain !
After long days of sweltering summer and pain
I see thee pour . Pour ! O gentle rain !
Thou awaken the dreamy leaves
Giving moments of respite and relief.
Birds fly back to their eyrie
After days long and weary.
I see men jump and dance
Embracing the calm , a state of trance
Men are happy and so are birds
Life is happy and so is nature
Blessed is the Earth and all its creature
In an aura of thy mystique perfume
Wettens the Earth , gets soft like a plume
The Earth is at peace and so am I
Wet I am after days hot and dry
Thy falling drops quench my thirst
Making my soul crave and lust
Pour thee ! O gentle rain !
Wash away all my heart’s pain
Cried I have , alone in my world
With tears unseen and sobs unheard
Thy drops today are some solace
When the world has left me lone
O heavens ! Thou art my secret companion
Bid thy clouds to pour more and more
To drench my soul and wipe my pain
Pour thee ! O gentle rain !
