First Line: Rivers leap their banks in torrential pouring
Last Line: Clouds rent asunder!
Subject(s): Floods
Rivers leap their banks in torrential pouring,
Water covers land in a muddy churning,
Rampant waves beat loud like a monster snoring,
Deluge returning!
Victims seek the hills for a timely shelter,
Noah's spirit guides through the rain and thunder,
Men and beasts are clamoring helter-skelter,
Clouds rent asunder!
