A lovely charm

I love the raving winds the murky gloom 
& I love the sea 
When ocean billows burst in frothy hum 
& where they silent be

I love the rough & smooth of natures voice 
The quiet & the rude 
For Nature never had unpleasant voice 
But sweet as Solitude 

I love the tumult in the forest trees 
& wood winds to hear 
In natures soul of quiet sympathies 
There—ther's nought to fear 
Nothing creating pain or harm 
& no noises rude 
The loud tongued thunder is a lovely charm 
A companion in solitude
