Lord of the winds I feel thee nigh	A
I know thy breath in the burning sky	A
And I wait with a thrill in every vein	B
For the coming of the hurricane	B
	-
And lo on the wing of the heavy gales	C
Through the boundless arch of heaven he sails	C
Silent and slow and terribly strong	D
The mighty shadow is borne along	D
Like the dark eternity to come	E
While the world below dismayed and dumb	E
Through the calm of the thick hot atmosphere	F
Looks up at its gloomy folds with fear	F
	-
They darken fast and the golden blaze	G
Of the sun is quenched in the lurid haze	G
And he sends through the shade a funeral ray	H
A glare that is neither night nor day	H
A beam that touches with hues of death	I
The clouds above and the earth beneath	J
To its covert glides the silent bird	K
While the hurricane's distant voice is heard	K
Uplifted among the mountains round	L
And the forests hear and answer the sound	L
	-
He is come he is come do ye not behold	M
His ample robes on the wind unrolled	M
Giant of air we bid thee hail	N
How his gray skirts toss in the whirling gale	N
How his huge and writhing arms are bent	M
To clasp the zone of the firmament	M
And fold at length in their dark embrace	O
From mountain to mountain the visible space	O
	-
Darker still darker the whirlwinds bear	P
The dust of the plains to the middle air	P
And hark to the crashing long and loud	M
Of the chariot of God in the thunder cloud	M
You may trace its path by the flashes that start	M
From the rapid wheels where'er they dart	M
As the fire bolts leap to the world below	Q
And flood the skies with a lurid glow	Q
	-
What roar is that 'tis the rain that breaks	R
In torrents away from the airy lakes	R
Heavily poured on the shuddering ground	M
And shedding a nameless horror round	M
Ah well known woods and mountains and skies	S
With the very clouds ye are lost to my eyes	S
I seek ye vainly and see in your place	O
The shadowy tempest that sweeps through space	O
A whirling ocean that fills the wall	T
Of the crystal heaven and buries all	T
And I cut off from the world remain	B
Alone with the terrible hurricane	B
