A Sunshine Rainbow

 A Sunshine Rainbow

Six pretty colors
Dancing on the door.
Climbing on the ceiling,
Falling on the floor.

One little boy
With his hands held high,
Tried to catch the colors.
But oh, how they did fly!

Roguish Johnny held the glass
In the morning sun.
Tommy chased the colors
As fast as he could run.

But when he put his hands up
To catch the colors bright,
John would give the glass a tip
And then they'd all take flight.

''Now get them, Tommy,'' Johnny said,
''This time I'll make them stay.''
But oh, just then there came a cloud
And stole them all away.

A Sky Rainbow

 A Sky Rainbow

Some little drops of water
That lay upon the ground.
Once started off for cloud-land
To see what could be found.

They climbed up on a sunbeam,
But when they reached the sky
They saw a great black rain-cloud
Whose thunder rumbled by.

And oh, they feared the thunder,
And the lightening flashing so,
And back to earth they tumbled
As fast as they could go.

Ten when they saw the green earth
They laughed with all their might;
and John and Katie shouted,
"Oh, see the rainbow bright!"
