Rainbow

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.

William Wordsworth
