      "The farthest thunder that I heard",
      "Was nearer than the sky,",
      "And rumbles still, though torrid noons",
      "Have lain their missiles by.",
      "The lightning that preceded it",
      "Struck no one but myself,",
      "But I would not exchange the bolt",
      "For all the rest of life.",
      "Indebtedness to oxygen",
      "The chemist may repay,",
      "But not the obligation",
      "To electricity.",
      "It founds the homes and decks the days,",
      "And every clamor bright",
      "Is but the gleam concomitant",
      "Of that waylaying light.",
      "The thought is quiet as a flake, --",
      "A crash without a sound;",
      "How life's reverberation",
      "Its explanation found!"
