Why, why repine, my pensive friend,
At pleasures slipt away ?
Some the stern Fates will never lend,
And all refuse to stay.
I see the rainbow in the sky,
The dew upon the grass ;
I see them, and I ask not why
They glimmer or they pass.
With folded arms I linger not
To call them back - 'twere rain :
In this, or in some other spot,
I know they'll shine again.
