(2) : : The Rainbowby Christina RossettiBoats sail on the rivers,And ships sail on the seas;But clouds that sail across the skyAre prettier 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.

They can’t stop him. The traffic in George Street is banked up forContinue reading “An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow : Les Murray : : Rainbow Poems : :”
