I'm looking through the window <br />The world is wet with rain <br />Looking for the rainbow <br />Will it shine through this pain? <br />The lonesome dove on the wire <br />Is he waiting for the same? <br />Or do his wings just tire <br />Is he willing to be tame? <br />Now the rain is falling <br />And he has flown away. <br />Has he heard her calling? <br />What did he hear her say? <br />I used to love a day like this <br />Sitting home with you. <br />If we could share a tender kiss, <br />I wouldn't be so blue. <br />If I'm to see some hope today <br />Despite my secret rage <br />It's that that dove could fly away <br />And lives not in a cage. <br />For this I thank the only One <br />The one I thank for you <br />And hope to see the shining Son <br />That the rainbow can shine through.<br /><br />Robert Lloyd Palmer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lonesome-dove-2/
