Love is a rainbow that appears
When heaven's sunshine lights earth's tears.
All varied colors of the light
Within its beauteous arch unite:
There Passion's glowing crimson hue
Burns near Truth's rich and deathless blue;
And Jealousy's green lights unfold
'Mid Pleasure's tints of flame and gold.
O dark life's stormy sky would seem,
If love's clear rainbow did not gleam!
