First lines

When the storm rushes upon the deep woods, It lets down curtains of mist And sheets of rain, that drip Crystal beads among the trees.

Way above, the branches lash and moan And weave. Below, it is still, Still as the undersea.

Soft fern and feathery bracken Loom through the mist Like branching coral, And drifting leaves float down Like snowy fishes, Lazily moving.
