Rain

Rain
Ndithe nditheza ngeny’ imini
Ndithe nditheza ngeny’ imini
Ndadibana nomfan' obomvu
And his name was rain
I’m over the moon as the night-wind descends
Floating on a heaven of dandelion petals
(Once when I was collecting firewood in the forest I met a young red man
And his name was rain)
(Old African proverb)
