From the novel; Great Expectation
This question is based on Charles Dicken’s Great Expectations.
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began
So be it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
And I could wish my day to be
Bound each to each by natural piety’.
My heart leaps up by W. Worthsworth.
