" "
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.

Long after it was heard no more.

In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
