The Thunder-Shower

The lightning flashed, and lifted  
 The lids of heaven apart,  
The fiery thunder rolled you  
 All night long through my heart.  

From dreams of you at dawn  
 I rose to the window ledge:  
The storm had passed away,  
 The lake lapped on the sedge.  

The lyre of heaven trembled  
 Still with the thought of you,  
The twilight on the waters,  
 And all my spirit, too.
