THE WINDS DREW OFF, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Beware an austrian
Subject(s): Wind; Nature

Defeated of a bone -
Through fissures in
Volcanic cloud
The yellow lightning shone -
The trees held up
Their mangled limbs
Like animals in pain -
When Nature falls upon herself
Beware an Austrian
