WHEN the sun comes after rain br And the bird is in the blue, br The girls go down the lane br Two by two. br br When the sun comes after shadow br And the singing of the showers, br The girls go up the meadow, br Fair as flowers. br br When the eve comes dusky red br And the moon succeeds the sun, br The girls go home to bed br One by one. br br And when life draws to its even br And the day of man is past, br They shall all go home to heaven, br Home at last.
