Colours of a Rainbow
****************************************

Red is the colour of a pretty pillar box
Orange is any orange on the tree
Yellow*s the colour of a bag of lemon drops
Green is the seaweed that is in the sea
And Blue is the colour of the sky in summertime
Indigo is a Siamese cat*s eyes
Violet*s the colour of a pretty little flower
These are the colours of a rainbow sky

The "Colours of a Rainbow" is a song, not a poem, 
and was written by Anthony Newly for the 
musical "The Roar of The Greasepaint, 
The Smell of The Crowd" which was popular during the 
1960's.  You may wish to give that credit in your 
transcription of the lyrics.  
(Jon Anderson also sang this tune at Yes Concerts 
during the 1972 "Close to the Edge" tour.)		

... I believe the actual title of the Anthony Newly song, if memory serves me, 
was "The Beautiful Land".
