THE RAINBOW OVER THE ROAD, by                    
First Line: A high road, a hard road; it ofttimes plungeth down
Last Line: A new road, an old road, on, through eternity.
Subject(s): Future Life; Wellesley College; Retribution; Eternity; After Life


A HIGH road, a hard road; it ofttimes plungeth down
To a low road, a long road, where fogs hang like a frown.
Oh, but it's like the winds to shift, and it's like the fogs to lift;
Then --
It's a new road, an old road, a winding road for me,
A new road, an old road, on, through eternity.

A low road, a long road; it upward hath a trend
To a high road, a hard road, that some day hath an end.
Oh, it's a joyous end at last, all the stony uplands past;
Then --
It's a new road, an old road, a winding road for me,
A new road, an old road, on, through eternity.
