He fumbles at your soul

He fumbles at your Soul
As Players at the Keys -
Before they drop full Music on -
He stuns you by Degrees -

Prepares your brittle substance
For the etherial Blow
By fainter Hammers - further heard -
Then nearer - Then so - slow -

Your Breath - hastime chance to straighten -
Your Brain - to bubble cool -
Deals One - imperial Thunder - bolt[^a1] -
Thatscalps peels your naked soul -

[^a1: Thunder - bolt | Thunderbolt]

When Winds hold Forests in their Paws -
The Universe - is stillThe Firmaments - are still -
