    We know her woof, her texture; she is given
    In the dull catalogue of common things.
    Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings.

O beautiful rainbow;--all woven of light!
There's not in thy tissue one shadow of night;
Heaven surely is open when thou dost appear.

And sing,--"The rainbow! the rainbow!
The smile of God is here."

But of a substance, though not animate,
Yet of a heavenly and spiritual mould,
That only eyes of spirits might behold.

The swain's experienced eye
From thee takes timely warning.
Nor trusts the gorgeous sky.

To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?
