Heavy
Rain
Fell
In
A
Stiff
Breeze,
Washed
The
Faces
Of
The
Trees,
And
Brushed
Away
The
Crust
Of
Desert
Dust.
Clouds
Hide
The
Mountain
Crest,
More
Rain
Sweeping
In
From
The
West,
As
The
Sun
Takes
A
Sunday
Rest.
Today,
Heavy Rain Fell In A Stiff Breeze, Washed The Faces Of The Trees, And Brushed Away The Crust Of Desert Dust. Clouds Hide The Mountain Crest, More Rain Sweeping In From The West, As The Sun Takes A Sunday Rest.
