Lightnings!   The flaring claws   Tight strings   Of typhoon's bows      Whiz, rave, howl   The insatiable storm!   Shrill, laugh, growl   Like demoniac swarm!      A tower steeple   Vibrates in the rain   Some dancing people   Reflect in a pane      The wine drips   In highwaymen's lair   The chief keeps   The birth of his heir      Stormchild!   The daughter of thunder and hail   Entwined   Her crying with laughter of gale   Come to us and fly!   Break the glass and try!      Squall of a tearing gush   Winds in a violent rush   A moment of hush...   -!Boom!-    Ha-ha, what a deafening crash!      Bluster and fright   Tumble and bite   Piercing the shower   The bolt set a tower   Alight!      The sign of doom   (Acclaims her)   The deadly gloom   (Awaits her)      The brat of reckless man   Has answered mother's croon   New leader of the clan   Appears before the moon
