Noel, Edward Henry: The Rainbow - ZaunköniG - 17.06.2007 The Rainbow The raindrops shimmered down the beamy sky: "Behold," one sang, "how gloriously bright The golden garments of the King of light!"-- "Golden! O drop, a beam is in thine eye!" A second cries: "His robe's of crimson dye."-- "Ye both are blind," another shouts: "my sight Is clear, and with the purple veil of night Our monarch is arrayed in mystery. Thus wrangling, shouting, hopeless to agree The drops shot swiftly down the headlong steep, Until at last they fell into the sea. When they arose from out the cold, dark deep, The sun sat throned in stainless majesty, While down a cloud they saw the rainbow sweep. |
