Thunder and rain Dark clouds roll over the earth Not quickly as in a storm The heavens stand almost still The rain not slanted but straight down No lighting but only thunder So much known to now be lost Most of it for the better For knowing all evil Only multiplies evil And the deep truths Obscure the simple ones Let the rain come To wash us all away That those who come after May be better than we Though it is not intended Nor can ever been Until all things pass away
