ROMANTIC RAIN

How beautiful this romantic rain is!

Chattering on rooftops in gay,

Singing melodies about the yard,

Showering pebbles above leaf tops

And sweetening my heart in joy!

No drums and lights but silent music

Spreading above hills and vales,

No storm but a gentle breeze

Mingle together as both in lusty love

And sweetening our hearts in bliss!

No birds sing and moonbeams hidden;

But the music of rainfall extend light in souls

 And the cologne blooms the heavens

From some unknown blossom of the bush.

With all these romance the hearts are warm;

Why, my sweet, you plunge in such gloom?
