Rainbow 1908

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 18 Oct 2004

While the rain was softly falling
in a forest glade,
beyond the prairies far away,
beneath a palm tree, so they say,
there stood an Indian chief one day.
There he spied a pretty maiden
of a copper shade,
and as he gazed she dropped her head,
to hide her cheek with blushes red,
while these sweet words he said:

Come be my Rainbow, my pretty Rainbow.
My heart beguile, give me a smile
once in a while,
in rain or sunshine,
my Rainbow,
keep your lovelight aglow,
I love you so, my sweet Rainbow.

Come be my Rainbow, my pretty Rainbow.
My heart beguile, give me a smile
once in a while,
in rain or sunshine,
my Rainbow,
keep your lovelight aglow,
I love you so, my sweet Rainbow.

Then the rainbow shone out smiling
from the summer sky,
and when she saw this sign she sighed:
"Now can't you see it's fate," he cried,
come love, and be my happy bride,
brighter than the rainbow
beamed the lovelight in her eye,
and as they wandered home that night,
beneath the moonbeams sil'vry light,
oft he sang with delight:

Come be my Rainbow, my pretty Rainbow.
My heart beguile, give me a smile
once in a while,
in rain or sunshine,
my Rainbow,
keep your lovelight aglow,
I love you so, my sweet Rainbow.

Come be my Rainbow, my pretty Rainbow.
My heart beguile, give me a smile
once in a while,
in rain or sunshine,
my Rainbow,
keep your lovelight aglow,
I love you so, my sweet Rainbow.
