When the Sun Comes After Rain Matthew Emery

When the sun comes after rain
And the bird is in the blue
The girls go down the lane
Two by two

When the sun comes after shadow
And the singing of the showers
The girls go up the meadow
Fair as flowers

When the eve comes dusky red
And the moon succeeds the sun
The girls go home to bed
One by one

And when life draws to its even
And the day of man is past
They shall all go home to heaven
Home at last
