My Heart Leapt Up

I took these shots in our backyard Wednesday evening of the most glorious double rainbow. It was practically neon when it first appeared, then mellowed and changed the sky to mauve.

The Wordsworth poem at last made sense to me.




My Heart Leaps Up
   ~by William Wordsworth

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.
