Like the Touch of Rain + 

Like the touch of rain she was + 

On a man’s flesh and hair and eyes + 

When the joy of walking thus + 

Has taken him by surprise: + 

With the love of the storm he burns, + 

He sings, he laughs, well I know how, + 

But forgets when he returns + 

As I shall not forget her “Go now.” + 

Those two words shut a door + 

Between me and the blessed rain + 

That was never shut before + 

And will not open again. + 
