The Black Cloud
written by William Henry Davies
From "The Bird of Paradise", 1914




Little flocks of peaceful clouds,
  Lying in your fields so blue,
While my eyes look up they see
  A black Ram coming close to you.

He will scatter you poor flocks,
  He will tear up north and south;
Lightning will come from his eye,
  And fierce thunder from his mouth.

Little flocks of peaceful clouds,
  Soon there'll be a dreadful rout;
That Ram's horns can toss big ships,
  Tear an oak tree's bowels out.
