O, beautiful rainbow, </br> All woven of light! </br> There's not in thy tissue, </br> One shadow of night:— </br> It seems as heav'n opened, </br> When thou dost appear, </br> And a visible presence </br> Of angels drew near, </br> And sung the rainbow, </br> The rainbow— </br> The smile of God is here.
