Cry For Rain
Look thou up again for the rain clouds gather
Thou hast seeded with vapor of tears
Art thou soon weary gazing upon heaven?
And thy hope eaten up by needless cares?
Come thee away from whence I call to smell the rain
Hear the thunders grumble for how long it tarries
Will thou not sing to the Creator before the frogs in the pond
And arise to the plough blessing thy seeds?
Dance with the children in the wind
Take thee thine last jar of oil to paint harvest a woman with cornrows
Poke the windows of heaven with thy faith
That its honeyed waters break forth with healing to thy sorrows.
