Summary of the Poem
The poem “The Rainbow” compares things made by humans (boats, ships, bridges) with things of nature (clouds, rainbow).
It says that while boats sail on rivers and ships on seas, clouds sailing in the sky are more beautiful.
Though rivers have bridges, none is as beautiful as a rainbow — the rainbow seems like a bridge from earth to sky, rising above trees.
Thus nature’s beauty is greater than anything humans build.
