April Rain Song Let the raindrops fall on my head. Let it fall. The rain is the song of the Earth.

Let it patter on the leaves, let it tap on the roofs, Let it fall in the puddles and on the ground, Let it dance its music all around.

Oh, let the rain fall on tap, on the heart. Let it wash my longing away, away, Let me sing with the raindrop’s sweet embrace.

• Langston Hughes
