Question

What is a bow that bridges heaven called ? Explain

Answer 1

Explanation:

On the final evening of our cruise, a rainbow arched 180 degrees across the sky. It felt like a fitting gift to mark the end of our vacation at sea.

“Boats sail on the rivers,

And ships sail on the seas;

But clouds that sail across the sky

Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,

As pretty as you please;

But the bow that bridges heaven,

And overtops the trees,

And builds a road from earth to sky,

Is prettier far than these.

If all were rain and never sun,

No bow could span the hill;

If all were sun and never rain,

There’d be no rainbow still.”

— Christina Rossetti
