Analysis of Gloomy Midnight Breeze
In a gloomy midnight,
When the wind does blow,
From where it comes,
You’ll never ever know.
Whatever it touches,
It feels like snow.
When hasty, it bends,
A tree, like a bow.
Watching me shivering,
My quivering elbow,
Laughing from a tree,
A big black crow.
"Stop this breeze, God!
Or make it slow."
Here it comes again.
"Oh! NO! NO! NO!"
