My heart leaps up when I behold <br />A rainbow in the sky; <br />So was it when my life began; <br />So is it now I am a man; <br />So be it when I shall grow old, <br />Or let me die! <br />The Child is father of the Man; <br />And I could wish my days to be <br />Bound each to each by natural piety.<br /><br />Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rainbow-19/
