Rain from the heavens br Relieves a parched, thirsty land br The people rejoice br br Snow floats gently down br Covers the earth, a carpet br Squirrels hide 'til spring br br Splendid old sunshine br Warms our hearts with lazy thoughts br Dreams of lakes, mountains br br Sleet, chilly and wet br Falls in sheets of melting ice br Turns the earth to mud br br Clouds spread, fill the sky br Darken the world bringing gloom br Yet welcomed by some br br Thick blanket of fog br Dense yet light as a feather br Greets chilly morningsbr br Miranda Sssbr br
