Thunderstorms

The Collected Poems of William H. Davies

My mind has thunderstorms,

That brood for heavy hours:

Until they rain me words;

Mythoughts are drooping flowers

And sulking, silent birds.

 

Yet come, dark thunderstorms,

And brood your heavy hours;

For when you rain me words,

My thoughts are dancing flowers

And joyful singing birds.
