THUNDERSTORM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The smiths of the heavens are mending the weather
Last Line: Proclaims to the world that the weather is mended.
Subject(s): New York City - Dutch Period; Storms


The smiths of the heavens are mending the weather;
Their hammers are beating the fragments together.
The cumulus mountains with nebulous gorges
Are dazzled with flame of the wind-bellowsed forges;
The cloud-pillared anvils with silvery edges
Resound to the thunderous fall of the sledges;
Till broadening patches of azure are showing
Storm-welded, rain-tempered, and, splendidly glowing,
The rainbow, from valley to valley extended,
Proclaims to the world that the weather is mended.
