RAIN MUSIC

On the dusty earth-drum Beats the falling rain;Now a whispered murmur, Now a louder strain.
​
Slender, silvery drumsticks, On an ancient drum,Beat the mellow music Bidding life to come.
Chords of earth awakened, Notes of greening spring,Rise and fall triumphant Over every thing.
Slender, silvery drumsticks Beat the long tattoo—God, the Great Musician, Calling life anew.
