I hear the thunderous thud,
 the muffled roar
I see the blinding, wheeling, smiting mists
The greens, the greys, purples and amethysts,
From Heaven's wide palm thy frightened cataracts pour...

Joseph Cook 1903
 

 

 

 

Since first I saw thee thundering on
There's nothing of thy beauty gone,
And though three years have passed away,
Thou thunderest on with all thy spray.

Charlotte Blanche Malcolm
1847
