"To the Sky and Back"
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
1. |
The sunbeams on the water danced
And coaxed some drops to rise
With then up thro' the air, to make
A visit to the skies.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
2. |
Then far and far above the earth
In clouds of white and gray,
Across the sky the water drops
Went wand'ring in their play.
|
|
|
| |
|

|
|
|
| |
|
3. |
The wondrous visit at an end,
They hurried down again;
And as they came the children all
Cried out, "Oh! see the rain!"
