Poem
Black wind, demon,
Raging down the night sky— Mad beast, mad god.
Driving dark and storm cloud
Rend the midnight forest; smite the skyward cypress.
Scratch the night with lean claws; quake the earth beneath you Roar down the dark flues; stir the graying embers.
Snarl; bare your blue fangs; moan, rave, whisper.
Night wind, mad wind— Man is fool to fear you,
A mad beast, a mad god Doomed to die at dawning
H. F., ’32
