A gentle rain tonight, that falls on lonely lanes

To splash around and roar, a silent sound with might

If such a storm became a spark so still to light

A cancer cracks the lees, could take these floral reins

A butterfly dismissed, a careful kiss of pains

My whispers seemed a game, now claim to why I write

A gentle rain tonight.

To ask that I forget.  And don’t forgive in vain

The storm that crashed and clapped went fast and left the night

If all I ask of now are flowers, pink and white

I plead, forgive me not, the blossoms need retain

A gentle rain tonight.
