Analysis of RAINBOW DREAM
Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)
For Carolyn Johnson
When a rainbow appears against gloom
The spectra is as a dream of affection,
With a passion that is a sensation to a dreamer
It’s a rainbow of pleasant pleasure,
In a dream of desire,
Fulling passionate affections in a dreamer,
With a gloomed appearance in the back of it,
A rainbow is a dreamer against gloom,
Defined by the spectrum of sensation and passion,
That is a fine pleasure appearing in desire.
