,
I wished in vain
For little drops of rain
While the ground lay dry
And cracked beneath my feet
,
The hot wind teased
The brown grass seeds
And blew them helter-skelter
Across the dust-dry earth
,
A muted rumbling
A flash of lightning
Far away in the vastness
Of the mountainous distance
,
Relief was looming
The rain was coming
Dark clouds appeared, rain escaping
In a deluge straight from heaven
