The storm clouds gather in the westThe thunder rolls and rumbles.A sudden gust of wind picks upDry leaves that toss and tumble.
Then all is still, the world awaits.A raindrop falls and splashes,A bird darts swiftly through the treesAs to shelter it now dashes.
The lightning flashes 'cross the sky.Another roar of thunder-It seems to shake the very earthAnd tear its peace asunder.
The rain is falling faster now,It forms a misty curtain.And then the sun peeks out again,At first it seems uncertain.
The storm rolls off toward the east,The thunder now is distant.A bird alights upon a limb,His chirping sounds insistant,
That the world stands refreshedBy sudden wind and rain,For now the sun is shiningAnd all is right again.
