stormchild
Lightnings! The flaring claws Tight strings Of typhoon's bows  Whiz, rave, howl The insatiable storm! Shrill, laugh, growl Like demoniac swarm!  A tower steeple Vibrates in the rain Some dancing people Reflect in a pane  The wine drips In highwaymen's lair The chief keeps The birth of his heir  Stormchild! The daughter of thunder and hail Entwined Her crying with laughter of gale Come to us and fly! Break the glass and try!  Squall of a tearing gush Winds in a violent rush A moment of hush -!Boom!-  Ha-ha, what a deafening crash!  Bluster and fright Tumble and bite Piercing the shower The bolt set a tower Alight!  The sign of doom (Acclaims her) The deadly gloom (Awaits her)  The brat of reckless man Has answered mother's croon New leader of the clan Appears before the moon
