To the Night

the night is young
full of unwanted sorrow

dark storm clouds roll in 
taking away clear view

no birds can sing sweet melodies

nor animal burro in the tree-tops

thunder casts out a dreadful cry
and lightening strikes it's evil wand
 across the darkened world

the rain thrashes it's anger
not once or twice, but
through out the night til morn.

when all sorrow lifts it's head
and the sun beams with delight

Expressions of sadness come through clearly with a good use of metaphors.
