Heavens archway

The lightenings vivid flashes—rend the cloud

That rides like castled crags along the sky

& splinters them to fragments—while aloud

The thunders heavens artillery vollies bye

Trees crash, earth trembles—beast prepare to flye

Almighty what a crash—yet man is free

& walks unhurt while danger seems so nigh— 

Heavens archway now the rainbow seems to be

That spans the eternal round of earth & sky & sea
