And am hailed by all hearts with delight:
And this, this is why
I am named for the beautiful bow in the sky.
The rainbow, it cometh 'mid sunlight and tears,—
The tears it soon chaseth away;
I banish all sighs for the year that is passed,
And the future in sunlight array:
And this, this is why
I am named for the beautiful bow in the sky.
The rainbow, it telleth of promise and love,
