In time of silver rain br The earth puts forth new life again, br Green grasses grow br And flowers lift their heads, br And over all the plain br The wonder spreads br br Of Life, br Of Life, br Of life! br br In time of silver rain br The butterflies lift silken wings br To catch a rainbow cry, br And trees put forth new leaves to sing br In joy beneath the sky br As down the roadway br Passing boys and girls br Go singing, too, br br In time of silver rain When spring br And life br Are new.
