The Rainbow

W HEN earth was in tts dawning In ages long ago, Betwixt the sun and rain-cloud The rain god wrought a bow. "Twas hewn from precious jewels, And woke mad greed in man, He sought it out and shattered it, He fought about and scattered tt, Thus precious stores began. The god was filled with sorrow, He made a bow again, He fashioned it from sunlight, From sunlight and the ran, And laid a spell upon tt, This glorious arch of gleams, That made it as intangible, Untouchable as dreams. The spell was laid for ever, The spell endureth siill, For vainhow ever hovere ~

Beyond the nearest hill,
