ROUND OF THE RAINBOW

FOR Freda Schultz de Montovani

Half of the round

was here and now it isn't. 

The round was cut in half.

Come and wait for 

a spectacle. 

Half of the round 

took off for the sky!

What celestial colors

come and go!

What skirts in the wind!

How beautifully they whirl!

From hill to hill, the rainbow dances 

so that you will dance.

It might he playacting 

or freewheeling, 

never to return again.

We look to the sky and 

all hues are here now:

half are crying, 

the other half, laughing.

Oh, half of the wheel, 

Oh, come down, come down! 

or bring us to all your colors 

if by chance you won't drop down.
