Last Line: WARM US YOUNG ONES
Subject(s): RAIN;RUSSIA; SOVIET UNION;RUSSIANS;

SHOWER, shower!
Get thyself ready to be seen.
Shower, let thyself go well.
Pour, O rain,
Over the grandmother's rye,
Over the grandfather's wheat,
Over the girl's flax,
Pour in bucketsful.
Rain, rain, let thyself go,
Stronger, quicker,
Warm us young ones.
