A poem by William Sharp

XXI.

The answering burst of thunder
That followed in its train,
Arousing, with electric peal,
Alike earth, air, and main;
The fitful gust, the moaning cry,
The shrieking of the wind,
The angry lashing of the rain,
Presented to his mind,
The exulting shout of vengeance,
The victim's wild complaint,
Earth's universal hatred,
Let loose without restraint.
