Thoughts on Seeing a Rainbow.


BY DAsIE.
Twas evening hour, i'll fowryj MAY,
a gorgeous rainbow Smiling lay
Upon dark and mantling .clohd,
That wrapped the east as in shroud.
! gazed upon that beatty bright,
Cleaning DER the hue ff night
Till shadow twilight did prevail,
And darkness hid the blooming dale.
And thus it is with lifF's shortiday,
The brightest visions PASS AWAY
And sorrows dark and troubled sea,
Too soon is all that's ldft to thee.
Childhood is the rainbow hue
Memory the drop we sfe it Through,
The false, the vile deceiver's part,
The cloud that settles hn the heart!
There's land, where Shades ne'er come,
Lit bv never setting bun,
A land where flowers forever Bloom
Beyond the dark and silent tornib!
There, then, III turn by weary eye,
And seek home above the sky,
Where sin can meier obscure ray
Of heavens bright andIgloriou& Gay.
