"O, beautiful rainbow, All woven of light! There's not in thy tissue, One shadow of night:— It seems as heav'n opened, When thou dost appear, And a visible presence Of angels drew near, And sung the rainbow, The rainbow— The smile of God is here."
— Sarah Josepha Hale

January 1, 1970

: 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, bending above thee, the angels draw near, And sing—"The rainbow! the rainbow! The smile of God is here."
