There is a mountain by the river, <br /> and a rock upon the mountain, <br /> There is a meadow near the falls, <br /> where I've seen deer. <br /> <br /> There is a pond on down the river, <br /> where it's sullen, <br /> and a muskrat on the banks of water clear. <br /> <br /> There's some thunder in the sky across the valley, <br /> and there is pain within my heart, where it's been torn, <br /> There's an answer in the wind and on the sunset, <br /> and I hope upon the rainbow past the storm!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-storm-31/
