Spring Thunder
Mark Van Doren - 1894-1972
Listen. The wind is still,
And far away in the night—
See! The uplands fill
With a running light.
Open the doors. It is warm;
And where the sky was clear —
Look! The head of a storm
That marches here!
Come under the trembling hedge—
Fast, although you fumble. . . .
There! Did you hear the edge
Of winter crumble?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The edge of Pennsylvania’s 1936-1937 winter crumbled into ”The Ohio River Great Flood of January 1937, surpassing all prior floods during the previous 175 years of modern occupancy of the Ohio River Valley.”
Six years old, I made a scrapbook of newspaper photos of that flood as it passed Cincinnati.
