| In barns we crouch and under stacks of straw | B |
| Harking the storm that rides a hurtling legion | C |
| Up the arched sky and speeds quick heels of panic | D |
| With growling thunder loosed in fork and clap | E |
| That echoes crashing thro' the slumbrous vault | F |
| The whispering woodlands darken vulture Gloom | G |
| Stoops menacing the skeltering flocks of Light | H |
| Where the gaunt shepherd shakes his gleaming staff | I |
| And foots with angry tidings down the slope | J |
| Drip drip the rain steals in through soaking thatch | K |
| By cob webbed rafters to the dusty floor | L |
| Drums shatter in the tumult wrathful Chaos | M |
| Points pealing din to the zenith then resolves | N |
| Terror in wonderment with rich collapse | O |

| Now from drenched eaves a swallow darts to skim | P |
| The crystal stillness of an air unveiled | Q |
| To tremulous blue Raise your bowed heads and let | R |
| Your horns adore the sky ye patient kine | C |
| Haste flashing brooks Small chuckling rills rejoice | S |
| Be open eyed for Heaven ye pools of peace | T |
| Shine rain bow hills Dream on fair glimps d vale | U |
| In haze of drifting gold And all sweet birds | V |
| Sing out your raptures to the radiant leaves | W |
| And ye close huddling Men come forth to stand | X |
| A moment simple in the gaze of God | Y |
| That sweeps along your pastures Breathe his might | H |
| Lift your blind faces to be filled with day | Z |
| And share his benediction with the flowers | A2 |
