A Rainbow Halo

In the clouds, a rainbow halo, 
With mottled colours that lay low, 
Gloomy weather, darkness enshrouds, 
A rainbow halo in the clouds;

An aura seen like mauve heather, 
Darkness enshrouds, gloomy weather, 
A sign divine that's unforeseen, 
Like mauve heather, an aura seen;

Resplendent spread, God's own design, 
That's unforeseen - a sign divine, 
Salmon and gold, softly they bled, 
God's own design, resplendent spread! 

Beauty fleeting, lo and behold! 
Softly they bled, salmon and gold, 
Before the rain, heaven's greeting, 
Lo and behold! Beauty fleeting!
