| And it's oh for me at last to see | S |
| The rainbow's end by the hillside tree | S |
| On the wet hillside where the wild ferns hide | T |
| Like a boy's bright soul to see it glide | T |
| - | |
| Then to laugh and run through shower and sun | U |
| In the irised hues that are arched and spun | U |
| And the rainbow's friend to find and spend | V |
| The bag of gold at the rainbow's end | V |
