There Is A Rain That Falls - Performance For 3 Voices Poem by Greg Davidson

Voice 1: Gently is a rain that falls,

Voice 2: Gentle as a tear to cheek.
Voice 3: Falling as do tears on cheek.

Voice 2: Softly on a bud or leaf,
Voice 3: Falling with joy or grief,

Voice 2: So softly, to the ground.
Voice 3: Softly, without a sound.

Voice 1: There is a rain that falls.


Voice 1: Cold there is a rain that falls,
Voice 2: Cold it falls, an icy dart,
Voice 3: Cold it falls upon a heart

Voice 2: Cold and sharp against the pane,
Voice 3: Cold and sharp, a lonely pain,

Voice 2: As driven by a gale,
Voice 3: As pierced through by a nail.

Voice 1: There is a rain that falls.


Voice 1: Hard there is a rain that falls,

Voice 2: Hard it falls ‘gainst the mountain side,
Voice 3: Hard it falls, then grows to a tide,

Voice 2: It gathers in the creeks and gullies,
Voice 3: To gather in the streets and alleys,

Voice 2: To come against both wall and tower.
Voice 3: To come against the halls of power.


[Voice 2: There is a rain that falls.]
[Voice 3: There is a rain that falls.]


Voice 1: Yes, there is a rain that falls.
