GOD'S CONCERT, by ISABEL STEWART MCMEEKIN 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STORM AT HOPTIME by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THERE IS A SOLEMN WIND TONIGHT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD DEWEY AND DANCER by JOSEPHINE MILES MICHAEL IS AFRAID OF THE STORM by GWENDOLYN BROOKS BREACHING THE ROCK by MADELINE DEFREES THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE OCEAN by STEPHEN DOBYNS OF POLITICS, & ART by NORMAN DUBIE TREMENDOUS WIND AND RAIN by ANSELM HOLLO BESIDE MY DOOR by ISABEL STEWART MCMEEKIN |
