June Thunder June Thunder is a 28-line poem by Louis MacNeice. It was first published in book form in MacNeice's poetry collection The Earth Compels (1938).

"June Thunder" is written in a loose form of the sapphic stanza, with three lines set in falling rhythm followed by a shorter fourth line. The poem was anthologised in "A New Anthology of Modern Verse 1920-1940" (1941), edited by Cecil Day-Lewis and L.A.G. Strong, and "Penguin New Writing" No. 2 (January 1941).
