Notes:Author's note after title: (My first poetical conception.)Notes:Author's note at foot of poem: P. S. - With the above, Mr. Empire, I must bid you farewell for a considerable period. I was determined, however, that my poetical stirrup-cup with you, should be something out of the ordinary: and you must even confess, I think, that my bardship has succceded-not in evoking that Chinese Fairy that presides over tempests in teapots-but in conjuring, as it were, into your very editorial sanctum, the Titanic spirit of a mountain storm- with, it is true, a bit of the Peaceful gilding after it, like a shining feathered halcyon. And when I shall see this my last contribution, for a time, set forth in your classic columns (correct to a letter), you would be likely, were you near enough, to catch me, rubbing my hands, and ejaculating the very words of old Dennis the critic-who, it is said, while gloating at some theatrical representation of a tempest, the getting up of which behind the scenes had been his own handiwork, grew all at once unable to contain himself, and began shouting at the top of his voice- "Begad that's my thunder!" C. H.Notes:Comprises 159 lines.

'The Australian Poetry Library (APL) aims to promote a greater appreciation and understanding of Australian poetry by providing access to a wide range of poetic texts as well as to critical and contextual material relating to them, including interviews, photographs and audio/visual recordings.
This website currently contains over 42,000 poems, representing the work of more than 170 Australian poets. All the poems are fully searchable, and may be accessed and read freely on the World Wide Web. Readers wishing to download and print poems may do so for a small fee, part of which is returned to the poets via CAL, the Copyright Agency Limited. Teachers, students and readers of Australian poetry can also create personalised anthologies, which can be purchased and downloaded. Print on demand versions will be availabe from Sydney University Press in the near future.
It is hoped that the APL will encourage teachers to use more Australian material in their English classes, as well as making Australian poetry much more available to readers in remote and regional areas and overseas. It will also help Australian poets, not only by developing new audiences for their work but by allowing them to receive payment for material still in copyright, thus solving the major problem associated with making this material accessible on the Internet.
The Australian Poetry Library is a joint initiative of the University of Sydney and the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL). Begun in 2004 with a prototype site developed by leading Australian poet John Tranter, the project has been funded by a major Linkage Grant from the Australian Research Council (ARC), CAL and the University of Sydney Library. A team of researchers from the University of Sydney, led by Professor Elizabeth Webby and John Tranter, in association with CAL, have developed the Australian Poetry Library as a permanent and wide-ranging Internet archive of Australian poetry resources.'
