At The End Of The Rainbow

At the end of the rainbow in fable 'tis told The Leprechaun he hides his bronze pot of gold And if you should catch him hold on to him tight Or he will quickly disappear out of your sight If he escapes from you him you may never see again Whilst firmly in your grasp your eyes on him must remain Until his hidden fortune to you he will show Hold on to him tightly do not leave him go, He will say I will show you where my gold is hidden if you first set me free But if you do that out of sight he will flee Then his pot of gold on your own you won't find In such an instance one has to be cruel to be kind But 'twould seem 'tis only a mythological story that has often been told That at rainbow's end the Leprechaun hides his pot of gold.
