1 O gentle, gentle summer rain,
Let not the silver lily pine,
The drooping lily pine in vain,
To feel that dewy touch of thine,
To drink thy freshness once again,
O gentle, gentle summer rain.
2 In heat the landscape quivering lies,
The cattle pant beneath the tree,
Through parching air, and purple skies,
The earth looks up in vain for thee,
O gentle, gentle summer rain.
Come thou and brim the meadow streams,
And soften all the hills with mist,
O falling dew, from burning dreams,
By thee shall herb and flower be kissed,
O gentle, gentle summer rain.
