Rainbows (Custance)/Rainbows

Rainbows

 

Songs! that like rainbows following after stormSpanned suddenly with flame-like wings of hopeSome silent void of sorrow in my heart,Dark with vain prayers and desolating tears,Or rising softly in a happy hour,Were mirrored like pale colours of the DawnIn my glad soul, as in a dancing sea,And borne on crests of laughter to the light!
