First Line: Rainbows are lovely things
Last Line: Would come again, and again!
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Rainbows


Rainbows are lovely things:
The bird, that shakes a cold, wet wing,
Chatters with ecstasy,
But has no breath to sing:
No wonder, when the air
Has a double-rainbow there!

Look, there's a rainbow now!
See how that lovely rainbow throws
Her jewelled arm around
This world, when the rain goes!
And how I wish the rain
Would come again, and again!
