RAIN HAS RETURNED, by                    
First Line: The rains have returned to the cornlands
Last Line: And flag-lilies blossom once more.
Subject(s): Rain


The rains have returned to the cornlands;
Fields cherish patches of glass
Which ripple the colors of sunset
Like bright-winging insects that pass.

Where ditches at roadsides are filling
The waterfowl quietly glide,
While willows go wading in pastures
And herds are refreshed at their side.

Meadowlarks sing above ponds
That entangle the clouds with the shore:
The rains have returned to the cornlands,
And flag-lilies blossom once more.
