The clouds came up on a summer Day,
And covered the Clear Blue sky,
They hid the face of the Sun away,
While the sudden storm swept by

and the stricken Flowers  when the fierce wind blew 
Bent Low to the tempests Power 
but they smiled in spite their tears of dew 
in the rainbow after the Shower.

The clouds came up when our life is bright
And cover the sun away
And the heart grows chill in the sudden night
And longs for the vanished day

But the clouds pass by with the summer rain
And then life a storm-tossed flower
The heart lootes up and Is glad again
In the rainbow after the shower
