Waiting For the Rain

The sun shines hot on the roofs in the town;
The birds are quiet;the grass is brown.
Behind the cars the dust flies high,
The trees are grey;the stream is dry.
     Tomorrow will be the same again,
     Or will it rain?


The ground is cold as we walk to school;
The road is mud and the hair is cool.
The trees and grass are growing green,
And all the world is washed and clean.
     Tomorrow will be the same again-
     It is the rain.
