The rainbow

Boats sail in the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;

But clouds that sail across the sky,
Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;

But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,

And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.

- Christina Rossetti
