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