The pretty Rain from those sweet Eaves
Her unintending Eyes --
Took her own Heart, including ours,
By innocent Surprise --

The wrestle in her simple Throat
To hold the feeling down
That vanquished her -- defeated Feat --
Was Fervor's sudden Crown --

Composition:

    Set to music by Paul Gibson (b. 1952), "The pretty rain" [ SATB chorus a cappella ]
