"Over The Rainbow"
To gild refined gold,To paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice,
Or add another hue
Unto the Rainbow,
Or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
~ William Shakespeare, King John ~
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white--then melts forever;
Or like the borealis race,
That flit ere you can point their place;
Or like the Rainbow's lovely form
Evanishing amid the storm.
You may grind their souls in the selfsame mill,
You may bind them, heart and brow;
But the poet will follow the Rainbow still,
And his brother will follow the plow.
~ John Boyle O'Reilly ~
Without knowing the vastness of the sky
Then we can believe in Miracles.
If we can believe in Rainbows
After the Darkest storm
Then we can believe in hope
Some where beyond the clouds
Behind the rain
There are a thousand Rainbows
One is finding its way to you
Our hearts are unaware
Of what sweet miracles will come.
Just like the falling Rainbow,Just like the stars in the sky,
Life should never feel small.
~ Vearncombe ~
Out of the Rainbow?
Will they put it back straight away
It can't be a Rainbow,
If it doesn't have the Indigo
And I want a Rainbow right away.
My heart leaps up when I behold
A Rainbow in the sky.
~ Wordsworth ~
and the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
there's a Rainbow highway to be found...
Leading from your window pane... to a place behind the sun...
Just a step beyond the rain....
If you want Rainbows, you have to put up with the rain.
~ Dolly Parton ~
