A rainy Day

Another rainy day

It didn't start out that way

Still the drops began to fall

First one or two only a few

Enough to disturb the pollen

Then a shower to wash it away

Not to complain it's natures way

April shower to bring out flowers

Soon May and maiden's bowers

The May pole with ribbons gayly

Twined around in a lively dance

Light the Beltane fires

Drive the cattle between the pyres

Drum and dance the night away

Lovers lay together on fertile fields

Set the seeds let bounty grow

Another rainy day yes!

For with spring rain

The lengthening days

Come the May pole

And maiden's bowers
