But the sunshine and the shower
Paint the rainbow In the sky.
Nobly bear thy heavy burdens,
Oh, ye weary, ye that sigh;

With a rainbow in the sky.
While we wait within the shadows
AS the night Of age draws nigh,
On our eyes will blaze the promise

BALLAD OF THE CONSTITUTION.

Go. bring the dictionary. lad.
For ! would write some rhyme
About the Constitution yacht
which sailed once on time.
So bring the book Of many words
And quick the pages turn,
The while ! Gull some sallOr-talk.
Which have failed 10 learn.
Twas In the brIny ocean once,
The Constitution sailed.
Her gan was on the weather bow.
Her boom was martlngaled
"Luff up! Luff up" the skipper cried
They luf'eI her quick and true.
And through the bulkwarks and the
keel
The breezes quickly blew.
They laid her head against the wind,
She split II Ike a cheese:
Her scuDDers and tO'gallant sail
Were floating In the breeze,
70, no, my lad, We wore her of
And drove another tack.
And met the Independence and
Columbia coming back.
We doused the starbOar1 lights away,
And reefed the flying 80.
AND all the while the splanaker
Was rocking Ike a crib.
Then sing 20, hol the Constltu-
ton sailed the raging main
And Independence and Column
bia chased her all In vain.
