After Storm

Topics: classic

Great clouds of sullen seal and gold     Bar bleak the tawny west,     From which all day the-thunder rolled,     And storm streamed, crest on crest.     Now silvery in its deeps of bronze     The new moon fills its sphere;     And point by point the darkness dons     Its pale stars there and here.     But still behind the moon and stars,     The peace of heaven, remains     Suspicion of the wrath that wars,     That Nature now restrains.     As, lined 'neath tiger eyelids, glare     The wild-beast eyes that sleep,     So smoulders in its sunset lair     The rage that rent the deep.
