Explore "Prayer Under Gray Skies" by Edith Nesbit on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O God, let there be rain! / Rain, till this sky of gray / That covers us every day / Be utterly wept away, / Let there be rain, we pray, / Till the sky be washed blue again / Let there be rain!
O God, let there be rain, / For the sky hangs heavy with pain, / And we, who walk upon earth, / We find our days not of worth; / None blesses the day of our birth, / We question of death's day in vain, -- / Let there be rain!
