Black night of chaos -- Wild lightnings flash Whitely like negro eyes. Rain pelts in disordered gusts, While trees shake their branches In protest. The moon looks out on the disharmonic scene, Then disgustedly flees behind a cloud. The thunders belch forth their presence, Loudly demanding attention, And the wind shrieks a maniacal lullaby To them all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE WRITTEN IN [THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR] 1746 by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) INLAND by EDNA ST.
