There's nothing more beautiful
More soothing 
Than the summer rain
It washes winter's sorrows away
And calms the scorching sun

Heavenly tears of joy descending upon the earth 
It reminds us of times of old
Sweet memories when children played in the rain
Singing pure  songs of innocence
Dancing  in the rain without a care
Life was wonderful and easy

Behold the light thunderstorms
The sounds of heaven speaking to men
 Confirming harvests and goodness upon the land
Even the beasts of the wild rejoice 
Perfect raindrops  that quench the soil
The crops celebrate and drink

Summer rain that comes in the evening
All the sweeter when it comes in the morning
Children dream  sweet dreams
Old men sleep in peace
Calm and harmony in the land

The heavenly drewl from the gods
Always in due season
The best kind of blessing
People lay awake under it's embrace
Full of thanksgiving and optimism about the day

Everyone loves the blessed rain
It gives the writer inspiration
Brings motivation to the farmer
A sign  to the religious man
Hope for the nation
Seasons and summer rain
