Analysis of Summer Storm
Sara Teasdale 1884 (St. Louis) – 1933 (New York City)
The panther wind
Leaps out of the night,
The snake of lightning
Is twisting and white,
The lion of thunder
Roars -- and we
Sit still and content
Under a tree --
We have met fate together
And love and pain,
Why should we fear
The wrath of the rain!
