Oh, Savage Wind

Oh, wild fierce wind,
         howling and whirling and twisting;
      you are the biggest fear in my mind,
         since a child my dread persisting.
   I hate your whistling and your roaring zephyr screams,
   you shake my windows until they will break it seems;
     I flinch when you throw your lightning beams,
             so, in my closet-  that's where me . . . you will find.
