STORM CENTRE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Past noon, past the strong
Last Line: Wrestles the air.
Alternate Author Name(s): Wolf, Robert Leopold, Mrs.
Subject(s): Storms


Past noon, past the strong
Hour for full song,
-- However late --
Mere silence holds me.

Here are met
Furious winds, and the great
Quiet is desperate.

Utterly still they stand locked.
Once only the earth rocked
With the weakening of one.

This is battle, forehead-on.
Barbarous singing follows when
One triumphs. Now the centre
Tightens again,
Closes. None enter --

It is silent where
Wrestles the air.
