First Shower

Oh, there you came after all,

bringing joy like a ford,

healing our wounds, oh wounds,

ending misery of the bright lord.

Oh, there you came after all,

savior of our green buds,

falling in rounds, oh, rounds,

children playing in your muds.

Oh, there you came after all,

fulfilling the villagers’ prayer,

earning them pounds, oh, pounds,

such a smile is so rare.

Oh, there you came after all,

arousing spirit of a teen in a poet,

words see no bounds, oh, bounds,

blessing for all, for the small and the tall,

aroma on the lover’s serenade.
