lyrics

Like rain it sounded till it curved
And then I knew ‘twas wind
It walked as wet as any wave
But swept as dry as sand
When it had pushed itself away
To some remotest plain
A coming as of hosts was heard
That was indeed the rain
It filled the wells, it pleased the pools
It warbled in the road
It pulled the spigot from the hills
And let the floods abroad
It loosened acres, lifted seas
The sites of centres stirred
Then like Elijah rode away
Upon a wheel of cloud
