To the Rainbow

To the Rainbow
 
Triumphal arch, that fills the sky,
     When storms prepare to part,
I ask not proud philosophy
     To teach me what thou art;
 
Still seem, as to my childhood’s sight,
     A midway station given
For happy spirits to alight,
     Betwixt the Earth and Heaven.
 
Can all that optics teach unfold
     Thy form to please me so,
As when I dreamed of gems and gold
     Hid in thy radiant bow?
 
When science from creation’s face
     Enchantment’s veil withdraws,
What lovely visions yield their place
     To cold material laws!
 
And yet, fair bow, no fabling dreams,
     But words of the Most High,
Have told why first thy robe of beams
     Was woven in the sky.
 
When o’er the green undeluged Earth
     Heaven’s covenant thou didst shine,
How came the world’s gray fathers forth
     To watch thy sacred sign!
 
And when its yellow lustre smiled
     O’er mountains yet untrod,
Each mother held aloft her child
     To bless the bow of God.
 
Methinks, thy jubilee to keep,
     The first-made anthem rang,
On Earth delivered from the deep,
     And the first poet sang.
 
The Earth to thee her incense yields,
     The lark thy welcome sings,
When glittering in the freshened fields,
     The snowy mushroom springs.
 
How glorious is thy girdle cast
     O’er mountain, tower, and town,
Or mirrored in the ocean vast,
     A thousand fathoms down!
 
As fresh in yon horizon dark,
     As young thy beauties seem,
As when the eagle from the ark
     First sported in thy beam.
 
For, faithful to its sacred page,
     Heaven still rebuilds thy span,
Nor lets the type grow pale with age
     That first spoke peace to man.
