The Rainbow Never Tells Me

The rainbow never tells me
The rainbow never tells me
That gust and storm are by,
Yet is she more convincing Than Philosophy.

My flowers turn from Forums --
Yet eloquent declare What Cato couldn't prove me Except the birds were here.

- Emily Dickinson

When I first read this poem, I didn't really understand it, but after reading it over again and really concentrating, I liked it. The first stanza is my favorite, the second stanza is harder to understand. I think she's saying that there is more to rainbows than what we see.
