Shall gods be said to thump the clouds <br />When clouds are cursed by thunder, <br />Be said to weep when weather howls? <br />Shall rainbows be their tunics' colour? <br /> <br />When it is rain where are the gods? <br />Shall it be said they sprinkle water <br />From garden cans, or free the floods? <br /> <br />Shall it be said that, venuswise, <br />An old god's dugs are pressed and pricked, <br />The wet night scolds me like a nurse? <br /> <br />It shall be said that gods are stone. <br />Shall a dropped stone drum on the ground, <br />Flung gravel chime? Let the stones speak <br />With tongues that talk all tongues.<br /><br />Dylan Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shall-gods-be-said-to-thump-the-clouds/
