A Summer Rain Poem by Richard Netherland Cook

Oh to be a summer rain,
A blanket from the sky,
To touch the fields and rolling hills,
Each weary passer-by.
To fall upon each window pane,
A drop upon the glass,
To mingle with the brook and stream,
And fall upon the grass,
To cleanse the earth and all there on,
And dance among the trees,
To quench the thirst of savage fires,
And swell the mighty seas.
Oh to be a summer rain,
And from the heavens pour,
To be a part of God above,
Could I ask for more?
