Wildly up from the river-bank strode the wind,
He stamped like a giant upon the corn-fields and left them thinned.
Then rain lashed down; rain-rivulets like silver hounds leapt, jaw by jaw,
Before me over the black soil—and in their depths I saw
The heavens: cloudy, broken, lightning-riven—and two eyes,
Cloudy, broken, lightning-riven like the skies.
