STORM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The storm pressed his rude brow against the pane
Last Line: Against my heart; yes, and it stayed there, too.
Alternate Author Name(s): Liliencron, Detlev Von


The storm pressed his rude brow against the pane;
The dark black clouds drove by, blowing their rain
Like tatters of a giant funeral flag,
And swift as fever-fancies playing tag.

A sudden longing sent you, dumb with fear,
Into my arms to seek your shelter here.
Ah, it was sweet! A leaf, storm-driven, flew
Against my heart; yes, and it stayed there, too.
