Lesson 59 The rain lesson"Mother, it rains!" and tears like rain fell down,"O little daughter! see, the plants rejoice;The rose-buds blush, and in your garden-bedThe drooping violets look so gladly up,Blessing our God for rain. He knows what's best.""Yes, mother, He knows everything; and soHe surely knows there's but one afternoonIn all the week that I can have from school;And 'tis the third that I've had leave to go and play with Mary, if it did not rain,And gather wild-flowers in her father's grove,And now it rains again."The mother took the mourner on her knee, and kissed away the blinding grief.And then she told her tales of the great Eastern deserts parched and dry,And how the traveller 'mid the burning sandsWatches for rain-clouds with a fainting gaze;And showed her pictures of the caravan,And the poor camel with his out-stretched neck longing for water.And she told her, too,Of the sad mother in the wilderness,And the spent water-bottle:―how she laid her darling son among the shrubs to die,
第五十九课 雨课“妈妈，下雨了”，眼泪下落时也像雨一样，女儿，看，植物多开心啊，你花房里的玫瑰花蕾脸红了，低着头的紫罗兰看起来也很开心，感谢上帝赐给雨水，他知道什么对我们是最好的。是的，妈妈他知道所有事情，他如此的确定一周里只有一个下午下雨整个星期我都可以离开学校，如果没有下雨，这会是我第三次去找Mary一起玩，在她爸爸的果园中采野花，现在又下雨了。妈妈跪下来抱着伤心的孩子，用吻来赶走女儿的悲痛。然后讲起了干燥缺水的东方沙漠里的故事沙漠中的旅客是如何在炙烤的沙地上渴望着雨水的到来并且展示了沙漠旅行团的图片，可怜的骆驼伸着脖子渴望着雨水。她还告诉她荒野里可怜的妈妈和用光的水瓶的故事她是如何让心爱的儿子躺在灌木丛中死去，
