Rainbow, The

William Wordsworth

My heart leaps up when I behold
     A Rainbow in the sky:

So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
     Or let me die!

The Child is father of the man;
     And I could wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety.
