The wind begun to rock the grass
The Wind begun to rock the GrassWith threatening Tunes and low --He threw a Menace at the Earth --A Menace at the Sky.The Leaves unhooked themselves from Trees --And started all abroadThe Dust did scoop itself like HandsAnd threw away the Road.The Wagons quickened on the StreetsThe Thunder hurried slow --The Lightning showed a Yellow BeakAnd then a livid Claw.The Birds put up the Bars to Nests --The Cattle fled to Barns --There came one drop of Giant RainAnd then as if the HandsThat held the Dams had parted holdThe Waters Wrecked the Sky,But overlooked my Father's House --Just quartering a Tree --
