The wind the river roils well And rocks like shells the boats offshore. Reeds and cattails thrash and turn As willows loose their streaming hair. Soon the storm shall strip them bare And wash downstream the whiplike ferns. The river past its banks shall pour And misery reduce to hell. So do we all await the power That rises with the rising wind. The air electric sings of woe, And darkness like a dirge descends. Well do we know our fate depends On more than we will ever know. Nor will nor prayer that fate rescinds Though grace attends each anxious hour.
