The thirsty earth Drinks up the rain, Absorbing it before It reaches the drain, Thank you clouds thank you rain, Thank you dear God again and again, For every drop That touches the ground On every rooftop All over town, The sweet relief From summer's heat, Though short rested None-the-less sweet! For making gardens And flowers grow, For the cool air, that wasn't there, Such a short while ago. July 26 1966

Thanks For Rain
The thirsty earth Drinks up the rain, Absorbing it before It reaches the drain, Thank you clouds thank you rain, Thank you dear God again and again, For every drop That touches the ground On every rooftop All over town, The sweet relief From summer's heat, Though short rested None-the-less sweet! For making gardens And flowers grow, For the cool air, that wasn't there, Such a short while ago. July 26 1966
