THE STORM by FREDERIC FAIRCHILD SHERMAN

First Line: A SUDDEN GLEAM OF ANGER IN HER EYES
Last Line: SHE SMILES, AND ALL THE WORLD IS BRIGHT AGAIN.
Subject(s): ANGER;
A sudden gleam of anger in her eyes --
Mark how the lightning plays across the skies!

Deep-drawn her breathing, -- lo, it is the breeze
That drives the clouds above and twists the trees!

Soon, then, her tears fall swiftly like the rain;
She smiles, and all the world is bright again.
