There's a girl dancing in the rain Splashing up high in puddles deep On the outside may seem quite plain Only to those who walk in sleep To one who can truly see her Will witness a nymph of allure Whose beating heart the wild does stir Behind a visage that is pure To see her is to fall in love Deeper than has ever been felt A divine angel from above Visiting on our earthen veldt Hand to heart with a solemn vow To love forever if allowed No matter the question of how Riding lightning of her storm cloud The taste of her lips worth a life Given up freely to abstain From all discord and constant strife To live free from the mortal plane
