The soft little hands of the rain stroking my cheek,

The kind little feet of the rain ran by my side.

When I went to thy grave, broken with tears,

When I crouched down in the grass, dumb in despair,

I heard the sweet croon of the wind soft in my ears,

I felt the kind lips of the wind touching my hair.

When I stood lone by thy cross, sorrow did speak,

When I went down the long hill, I cried and I cried,

The soft little hands of the rain stroked my pale cheek,

The kind little feet of the rain ran by my side.
