Storm
Charles Mackay
1814 to 1889
A mighty tempest rent the sky,
As if a god were passing by.
Bending to earth my humbled head,
In solemn and religious dread,
And kneeling on the sod,
1 heard a voice proclaim aloud,
Whose echoes sprung from cloud to cloud,
"Great is the Lord our God!"
And ocean swelled its waters vast,
Repeating, as it roared,
In chorus with the furious blast,
"O! mighty is the Lord!"
While the fierce lightning, flashing high,
Traced the dread accents on the sky,
Writing, as with a fiery rod,
"O mighty is the Lord our God!"
Charles Mackay's Storm
I am busy working to bring Charles Mackay's "Storm" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Charles Mackay's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Storm" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
