A Presentiment |
| Oh father, let us hence for hark |
| A fearful murmur shakes the air |
| The clouds are coming swift and dark: |
| What horrid shapes they wear |
| A winged giant sails the sky |
| Oh father, father, let us fly |
| 'Hush, child; |
| it is a grateful sound |
| That beating of the summer shower |
| Here, where the boughs hang close around |
| We’ll pass a pleasant hour |
| Till the fresh wind, that brings the rain |
| Has swept the broad heaven clear again |
| 'Nay, father, let us haste for see |
| That horrid thing with horned brow |
| His wings o’erhang this very tree |
| He scowls upon us now |
| His huge black arm is lifted high |
| Oh father, father, let us fly!' |
| 'Hush, child;' |
| but, as the father spoke |
| Downward the livid firebolt came |
| Close to his ear the thunder broke |
| And, blasted by the flame |
| The child lay dead; |
| while dark and still |
| Swept the grim cloud along the hill |
| Poem by William Cullen Bryant |
