“A thunder-storm!â€”the eloquence of heaven, When every cloud is from its slumber riven, Who hath not paused beneath its hollow groan, And felt Omnipotence around him thrown? With what a gloom the ushâ€™ring scene appears! The leaves all shivâ€™ring with instinctive fears, The waters curling with a fellow dread, A veiling fervour round creation spread, And, last, the heavy rainâ€™s reluctant shower, With big drops pattâ€™ring on the tree and bower, While wizard shapes the bowing sky deform,â€” All mark the coming of the thunder-storm!”
