Spell

Spell - - - - - I heard little dancing sound On roof top and window pane And looked what was around It was evening outside Though I was sitting With lights on inside Saw lofty clouds floating in the sky And I thought, is it swirling cloud Hurling down spell from paradise to ground Or is it a ghost creating evil spell Summoning demons from hell to ground Saw the tempest shrouding the sky As if in a while cauldron would Bubble over the roaring storm-fire And it's roiling and seething particles Would dance away the living empire And the darkness growing stronger And I could hear loud the steady patter On the roof and the window pane And the thunder smiling an evil grin Helpless I was sitting still Wishing the storm soon calm down For it was enough to scare a soul Like this in an hour solemn Though came showers kindly down On woodlands, budded flowers And newly glinting green After breaking open rain on the plain Now sadden clouds looked serene and calm Oh, how bright it looked all around And I thanked God That what looked like a gloom Ended like a shower of molten gold
