For the EAGLE.
THE RAINBOW.
BY PAXTON L. POWERS.


When thckening clouds did gather Ger
And looked as though 'twoud rain the more.
The plentiful wheat crop to destroy
And mar the laborer's cherished joy,
Saw ye the anxiety on his brow?
For the wheat ERE then began to grow.
Just as the sun did sink to rest
Beneath the horizon, In the west,
He burst from the clouded canopy OF heaye !,
And shone on the rainbow c0lors seven,
And shone upon the sparkling leaves
OF growing grain, and grass, and trees.
And as il 10 make the scene more grand
Obedient unto Gods command,
Behold rainbow in the east;..
sight on which the eye could feast.
A scene majestic and sublime.
Seven colors forth did shine.
All was there a more magnificent scene
Fer gazed upon, cen by king.
In the west the setting sun,
Whilst in the eastern horizon
A beautiful aspect to behold,
The glories of our God unfold;
There appeared the promise, to Noah given,
His covenant with the majesty of Heaven,
For with the rainbow ceased the rain,
Gave the farmers chance to secure the grain,
Sent joy and plenty to hearth and home
And inspired with confidence for time to come.
