Rain in Summer – Class 5, SCERT

Summary

• Rain looks so nice, After hot sun and dusty skies. It falls on big roads and small lanes, And cools everything again.
• It hits the rooftops with loud sounds, Like horses walking on the ground. It rushes out from pipes so fast, Splashing water as it blasts!
• It falls on windows, drip-drop, drip-drop, It doesn’t stop—it pours nonstop! It flows quickly down the street, Like a muddy river at your feet.
• Rain is lovely, rain is fun, We welcome it when the day is done!
