"In Time of Silver Rain"





In time of silver rain
The earth
Puts forth new life again,
Green grasses grow
And flowers lift their heads,
And over all the plain
The wonder spreads
     Of life,
     Of life,
     Of life!

In time of silver rain
The butterflies
Lift their silken wings
To catch a rainbow cry,
And trees put forth
New leaves to sing
In joy beneath the sky
As down the roadway
Passing boys and girls
Go singing, too,
In time of silver rain
     When spring
     And life
     Are new.

Langston Hughes
