lyrics

It Rains

Em D Em D
It rains, and nothing stirs within the fence
Am G
Anywhere through the orchard's untrodden, dense
Bm A
Forest of parsley. The great diamonds
E D C G
Of rain on the grass-blades there is none to break,
F#m Bm F#m
Or the fallen petals further down to shake.

And I am nearly as happy as possible
To search the wilderness in vain though well,
To think of two walking, kissing there,
Drenched, yet forgetting the kisses of the rain:
Sad, too, to think that never, never again,

Unless alone, so happy shall I walk
In the rain. When I turn away, on its fine stalk
Twilight has fined to naught, the parsley flower
Figures, suspended still and ghostly white,
The past hovering as it revisits the light.

Edward Thomas
