My Heart Leaps Up

Listen to:

My Heart Leaps Up (:23)

by William Wordsworth

performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode

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 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.
