“My heart leaps up”

by William Wordsworth English

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.
