Like Angels' Tears - Quatern

Like angels' tears the raindrops fall, As children gay the songbirds call; Should I then cry or blithely sing This dreary day in merry spring? As children's cries the winds will squall, Like angels' tears the raindrops fall; To know the reason, I desire, But dare a mortal heav'n enquire? Some girls pick flowers wet with rain, An old man smiles and waves his cane; Like angels' tears the raindrops fall And splash upon the cheeks of all. As if in prayer the grass bows down To meet the clover's purple crown, For both on them and on my shawl Like angels' tears the raindrops fall. *April 28th, 2014*

You've done this for to near perfection in both rhyme and meter as well as a wonderful story. My only suggestion is to replace "and" in verse 3 line 4 with something more vibrant perhaps "they" would work better but that's just a suggestion.
