The Wind took up the Northern Things

The Wind took up the Northern Things
And piled them in the south —
Then gave the East unto the West
And opening his mouth 

The four Divisions of the Earth
Did make as to devour
While everything to corners slunk
Behind the awful power —

The Wind — unto his Chambers went
And nature ventured out —
Her subjects scattered into place
Her systems ranged about

Again the smoke from Dwellings rose
The Day abroad was heard —
How intimate, a Tempest past
The Transport of the Bird —

Emily Dickinson

Tornade 

The Wind took up the Northern Things
And piled them in the south —
Then gave the East unto the West
And opening his mouth

Did try to devour
The four Divisions of the Earth
While everything is slunk to corners
Behind the awful power —

Again the smoke rose from Dwellings
The Day abroad was heard —
How intimate, a Tempest passed
By flying Birds
