There trudges one to a merry-making br With sturdy swing, br On whom the rain comes down. br br To fetch the saving medicament br Is another bent, br On whom the rain comes down. br br One slowly drives his herd to the stall br Ere ill befall, br On whom the rain comes down. br br This bears his missives of life and death br With quickening breath, br On whom the rain comes down. br br One watches for signals of wreck or war br From the hill afar, br On whom the rain comes down. br br No care if he gain a shelter or none, br Unhired moves on, br On whom the rain comes down. br br And another knows nought of its chilling fall br Upon him aat all, br On whom the rain comes down.
