1.
|
The sunbeams on the water danced And coaxed some drops to rise With then up thro’ the air, to make A visit to the skies. |

2.

Then far and far above the earth In clouds of white and gray, Across the sky the water drops Went wand’ring in their play. |

| 3. | The wondrous visit at an end, They hurried down again; And as they came the children all Cried out, “Oh! see the rain!” |
