| The Black Cloud written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Bird of Paradise", 1914 | Link to further information |
Little flocks of peaceful clouds,
Lying in your fields so blue,
While my eyes look up they see
A black Ram coming close to you.
He will scatter you poor flocks,
He will tear up north and south;
Lightning will come from his eye,
And fierce thunder from his mouth.
Little flocks of peaceful clouds,
Soon there'll be a dreadful rout;
That Ram's horns can toss big ships,
Tear an oak tree's bowels out.
