Tell Me Why

I heard someone sobbing clearly, I heard someone moan, Was it a wail, or a sigh, or was it more of a piteous groan? It was as if a tormented human was tortured and left to die, Was it my imagination? Surely I had heard someone cry! The leaves were somersaulting, the flowers madly danced, The angry waves lashed and fumed and ragingly advanced, The clouds were torn to pieces and whipped across the sky, Why this tumultuous frenzy? Can anyone tell me------ why? The birds in their nests trembled, the trees shivered now and then, A rumbling sound resonating could be heard coming from the glen, A subdued distant buzzing was followed instantaneously by a roar. Why these inexplicable unnatural happenings, I would like to know.
