I love May’s early stormy showers  
Thunder, discovering the spring  
Frolics about in heaven’s towers  
Blue skies are its celestial string

The youthful thunder rumbles sweetly  
A bit of rain, a bit of dust  
And strings of pearly drops form neatly  
The sun then gilds them, as it must

Fast moving creeks churn down the mountains  
Birds of the forest chirp as if  
They’re mimicking old nature’s fountains  
And echoing the thunder’s riff

You might say, Hebe, the rebel spirit  
Her father’s eagle makes her fuss  
Shaking her cup just so -- you hear it  
and laughing, empties it on us
