Thunderstorms
From Foliage (1913)
Arts & SciencesNature
My mind has thunderstorms,
That brood for heavy hours:
Until they rain me words,
My thoughts are drooping flowers
And sulking, silent birds.
Yet come, dark thunderstorms,
And brood your heavy hours;
For when you rain me words,
My thoughts are dancing flowers
And joyful singing birds.

Codex Note
The poet's mind has thunderstorms that brood for hours until they 'rain me words', and he welcomes them because then his thoughts are 'dancing flowers / And joyful singing birds'.
