My Heart Leaps Up

My Heart Leaps Up
---William Blake        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.
