PoemMy Heart Leaps Up
Author / PoetWilliam Wordsworth
TagsChild, Life, Piety, Rainbow

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 wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
