1.A fragment of a rainbow bright Through the moist air I see,All dark and damp on yonder height,All bright and clear tme.
2.An hour agthe storm was here,The gleam was far behind;Swill our joys and grief appear,When earth has ceased tblind.
3.Grief will be joy if on its edge Fall soft that holiest ray,Joy will be grief if nfaint pledge Be there of heavenly day.
