That sound of rain rap-tapping on the window
such a simple beat, why,
merely a tap, tap, tap, tapping on the window panes

That lazy afternoon on that lazy weekend day
such a simple time, why,
to sit and read and write the day away without care

That sorrow in my poor, sad heart
such a simple woe, why,
downed in bitter-sweet coffee and weeping sonorous songs

That love swelling in my flighty soul
such simple emotion, why,
my heart goes sighing and beating and dancing to such love

That awe and wonder for things fantastic
such simple fascination, why,
such adventure and allure taunts from the rabbit hole

That simple thing--no--every simple thing
such simple things, why,
that move me so, and taunt, and awe, and inspire
such simple things, why,
that fabricate my days
