Rain has fallen all the day.
O come among the laden trees:
The leaves lie thick upon the way
Of mem'ries.

Staying a little by the way
Of mem'ries shall we depart.
Come, my beloved, where I may
Speak to your heart.

    Set to music by Samuel Barber (1910 - 1981), "Rain has fallen", op. 10 (Three Songs) no. 1, published 1939 [ voice and piano ]
