Them In You
I love the water with its tumbling fall,
Its booming, foaming flood.
I love the storm and the reverberation of thunder,
The lightning’s unbounded rage.
I love them with exultant passion.
Only you with consuming fervor,
Carry lightning in your heart,
The storm in your breast,
And roiling waves in your blood.
-Mia Holm 1900
