The Analysis of My Heart Leaps Up

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;

So be it when I shall grow old,

         Or let me die!

The Child is father of the Man;

And I could wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety.
