Rain In the Meadow

I wandered through the meadow fair
Where grasses green and sun did glare 
When suddenly the rain did come
A host of droplets one by one.

Waters pouring and soaking leaves
Branches dancing in cool breezes.
Continuously the drops fell in time
And stretched in never ending lines.

A wealth of droplets shining bright
A host of diamonds in shadowed light.
Drops that sprinkled as the milky way.
It rained and rained and rained that day.

Birds rushing to their shelters near
Singing, singing the rain is here.
Droplets by thousands at a glance
Moving, moving to their dance.

I wandered through the meadow green.
And the rain never stopped it seemed. 
I wondered where the sun did hide
Since all these drops had arrived.

I wondered if the rain would stop
Since on all things the drops did drop.
Continuously rain dropped and dripped
And then the wind began to whip.

I ran through the meadow fair
To escape the rain no time to spare.
When suddenly sun came out to play
And all the droplets hid away.
