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 silken wings
To catch a rainbow cry,
The 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.

By: Langston Hughes
