GOD'S CONCERT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Last night god's orchestra played
Last Line: God's concert was over.
Subject(s): Storms


Last night God's orchestra played;
The clap of thunder was the cymbals,
And, as it rumbled away,
There was the big kettle-drum:
The spot-light was the vivid lightning;
The violins were the howling
And moaning of the wind:
The black clouds were veiled scarf dancers;
The rain on the tin roof was the triangles:
The rain and wind through the grass
Was a harp:
A sudden burst of thunder was the last chord;
Slowly it died away,
And only the sobbing of the wind remained:
God's concert was over.
