lyrics

RIDDLING TRIPLETS IN OLDE TIME

Rain, sun, and rain. There's a rainbow in the sky.
A young man will, will be wiser by and by;
An old man, his wit may wander ere he die.

Sun, rain, and sun! There's a rainbow on the lea!
And truth is this to me, this to me and that to thee;
And truth clothed or naked let it be.

Rain, rain, and sun, and the free blossom blows;
Sun, rain, and sun! and where is he who knows?
From the great deep to the great deep he goes.
