'Give us Rain, Rain,' said the bean and the pea, <br />'Not so much Sun, <br />Not so much Sun.' <br />But the Sun smiles bravely and encouragingly, <br />And no rain falls and no waters run. <br /> <br />'Give us Peace, Peace,' said the peoples oppressed, <br />'Not so many Flags, <br />Not so many Flags.' <br />But the Flags fly and the Drums beat, denying rest, <br />And the children starve, they shiver in rags.<br /><br />Robert Graves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/give-us-rain/
