by Sten Selander (1891 - 1957)

Vårregn
Language: Unknown Language 
Regnet risslar, regnet susar,
marken andas, och ur djupen
ångar det av fuktig mull.
Och jag går och hör på regnet
tills det känns som gråt i strupen
blott för regnets skull.

Goda, kära regn, som låter
jorden dricka livets vatten,
tills av lycka allting gråter
i den ljumma natten!

Jag vill falla ned på knä och
famna allt det unga, späda,
som i natt får liv och gror,
och jag nänns knappt mer beträda
med min tunga stövel jorden,
allt det ungas mor.
