Battle of the Doomed Gods” by Friedrich Wilhelm Heine (1882)

Moody skies
On a summer’s day
Grumbles from the heavens
A God stamping about
Or fighting amongst themselves?
Grey clouds rush by
Chased by thunder
Thor’s Hammer striking down
In anger
Hear its cry! Hear his!
The Gods will not let up
Shall not back down!
Rolling clouds of emotion
Stomp past above
Striking awe into mortal hearts
The Sun God stays hidden
Cowering; kept back is he
By angry Gods
Fighting through eternity
An ageless battle with no end…
