The Rainbow
written by William Henry Davies
From "Secrets", 1924




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!
