Tempest

Tempest

The land grew warm
In the dead of Winter
And my eyes beheld this sight:
Black clouds gathered
In the skies
And day turned into night

Now, rain had fallen earlier
About this, I won't lie
But now thunder shook the Earth about
And lightning cracked the sky

Raindrops fell
Quite harmlessly
Not an hour before
But that was not a storm, you see
And we'd getting more

Now, this I found quite odd,
You see,
It really was quite strange
To see such warmth in January
The weather was deranged

Lightning fell
And seconds later
The loudest thunder rolled
This was quite an act of Nature
I say,
She's getting bold

Stranger still, the weather grew
As I was trav'ling home
The chill came back
(quite quickly, too)
And made the whole world groan

The snow came quickly
Overnight
A white and frigid sand
The rain now froze and turned to ice
Which covered our great land

Now, rain and snow
Ans sleet, as well
Down to the ground all fell
I tell you what this was
I say,
A tempest sent from Hell
