Rainbow Poems

[sung to tune: "All Saints New"]
...

OUR blue sierras shone serene, sublime,
When ghostly shapes came crowding up the air,
Shadowing the landscape with some vast despair;
...

HARD to wait for the postman's tramp
Up the snowy walk, for the hand that gropes
Deep in his pack, while the children tease
...

THE fragrant air is full of down,
Of floating, fleecy things
From some forgotten fairy town
Where all the folk wear wings.
...

WHEN Cap'n Tom comes home, and his sea chest
Is opened, oh, the shells that rainbow foam
Tossed on far shores, by us to be possessed
...

Sweet are the thoughts that haunt the poet’s brain
Like rainbow-fringed clouds, through which some star
Peeps in bright glory on a shepherd swain;
They sweep along and trance him; sweeter far
...

When colour goes home into the eyes,
And lights that shine are shut again
With dancing girls and sweet birds’ cries
Behind the gateways of the brain;
...

When colour goes home into the eyes,
And lights that shine are shut again
With dancing girls and sweet birds' cries
Behind the gateways of the brain;
...

Thou gentle Look, that didst my soul beguile,
Why hast thou left me? Still in some fond dream
Revisit my sad heart, auspicious Smile!
...

I SAW a fairy twine,
Of star-white jessamine,
A dainty seat, shaped like an airy swing,
With two round yellow stars
...

ONE time he dreamed beside a sea
That laid a mane of mimic stars
In fondling quiet on the knee
...

Each life converges to some centre
Expressed or still;
Exists in every human nature
A goal,
...

The dying need but little, dear,--
A glass of water's all,
A flower's unobtrusive face
To punctuate the wall,
...

On this long storm the Rainbow rose—
On this late Morn—the Sun—

As far from pity, as complaint—
As cool to speech—as stone—

The rainbow never tells me
That gust and storm are by,
...

SEE through yon cloud that rolls in wrath,
One little star benignant peep,
To light along their trackless path
The wanderers of the stormy deep.
...

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
...

THE little white clouds are racing over the sky,
And the fields are strewn with the gold of the flower of March,
The daffodil breaks under foot, and the tasselled larch
Sways and swings as the thrush goes hurrying by.
...

Into the world you sent her, mother,
Fashioned her body of coral and foam,
Combed a wave in her hair's warm smother,
And drove her away from home
...

A rainbow on the Nordic Sea,
A seascape vast and blue,
With shadowed mountains' majesty,
The rainbow's arch shines through,
...

rainbow coloured roses! God knows I must have sent out a trillion doses! some smelled them with their raised up noses, others took big big breaths of smoke infused with the aroma of pink petal roses, some swore they saw the brite lite and it gave them courageous mite, others hid behind the shadow in terror and fright, some were killed, while others died, by the same bloody hands, we all survived, through the shadows, we walked in stride, all together through the darkness in search of the warm rainbowed coloured lites that once we carried in our hearts, and loved with frevor, blind we stumbled, hit the cold hard ground and lost our grip, our faith, now fumbled, then the flash! That lighting struck! Broke the stone in half and on that tree the truth was seared, no more fear, no more blind eyes, nor def ears, listen all! the lovely musik! it's here! , smell those rainbow coloured roses with all your spirit! not just with your noses! GOD knows I have sent out trillions and trillions lovely sweet doses! love! love! love! contagious, courageous, loyal, faithful, ahhhhh! them rainbow coloured roses! GOD knows I have sent out unending doses! (rainbow coloured roses!) (raw talent!)

Her lovely beauty
is like a rainbow
That I don't want to fade away
...

Red, orange, yellow and blue, green, purple and indigo too. The colors of the rainbow. The colors of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow and blue, green, purple and indigo too. The colors of the rainbow. The colors of the rainbow.

The rain makes everything dark and grey. It makes everything wet and ruins our day. But after the rain comes a shining light. It shines in the sky so very bright. The colors of the rainbow. The colors of the rainbow.

All the Colours of the Rainbow

You and I
Have known each other
...

Rainbow has its own beauty;
Rainbow seems to be elegant in the sky;
Which gives us the alluring vision;
It seems to be pretty from the far;
...

Rainbow! Rainbow!
You are in my Bungalow

Rainbow! Rainbow!

Day by day we offend the Lord
That was the cause of death
In the garden of Eden
Even during Noah's time it was
...

I've got a rainbow on my eyebrow
The seven colours curve shining on my left eye above
It wasn't there the night before I went to bed
When I woke up in the morning the mirror freaked me out
