Where It Is Often Raining

Where it is often raining and few days are dry
The place of the low cloud and often gray sky
Where the rivers are often swollen from from flood waters of stream and drain
And the mountains are often cloaked in the gray fogs of rain
A Country in Spring that does look lush and green
Where on a clear day great beauty is to be seen
Old memories die hard as the wise one does say
Of the evergreen Country from here far away
That on a clear day from the higher ground
One can view beautiful countryside for kilometers around
The white waves of the Pacific are tossing about
On this sunny and breezy evening in this Land so far south
Of the place of the low cloud and flooded stream and drain
That is flowing to the river swollen by heavy rain.
