LAST night when under troubled skies	A
The storm went marching o'er the plain	B
An elfin music seemed to rise	A
A singing in the rain	B
At first it seemed a prattling child	C
That played alone in young delight	D
And then it seemed a joy gone wild	C
That sang along the night	D
The raindrops with their steady beat	E
And burden musical and low	F
Were like a thousand little feet	E
That hurried to and fro	F
And where the runnels gushed and streamed	G
And soaked the grass roots dry and brown	H
A busy band of fairies seemed	G
To patter up and down	H
The air was full of whisperings	A
And all the teeming dark was rife	I
With stir and call that told of things	A
That woke anew to life	I
And then across the darkened waste	J
A sudden shouting wind was hurled	K
It seemed a messenger in haste	J
With tidings for the world	K
But till across that streaming scene	L
The wind went rushing down the plain	B
I did not guess what they might mean	L
Those voices of the rain	B
They said 'Farewell to drought and dearth	M
To Famine hollow eyed and nude '	N
They said 'We are the teeming Earth	M
The gift of plenitude '	N
They said those voices of the rain	B
'We are the flesh and blood and breath	O
We are the meat the fruit the grain	B
That succour all from death '	N
They said 'Wherever we may pass	A
The hour of plenty comes to birth	M
We spread the banquet of the grass	A
Around about the Earth	M
'We call ' they said 'and lo the seed	P
Within its mother soil is stirred	Q
The seasons round 'tis ours to feed	P
The fruit the tree the bird	Q
'By us the petal is unfurled	K
The flower in purple splendour blooms	A
We fill the markets of the world	K
And feed its hungry looms '	N
The moon sent forth one silver ray	R
The fairy voices ceased to sing	S
Yet far away and far away	R
I heard thanks echoing	S
For cattle lowed throughout the night	D
In deep content across the plain	B
And I too thanked with meet delight	D
The voices of the rain	B
