• Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
  All soft and still and fair;
  The solemn hour of midnight
  Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere,
  
  But most where trees are sending
  Their breezy boughs on high,
  Or stooping low are lending
  A shelter from the sky.
  
  And there in those wild bowers
  A lovely form is laid;
  Green grass and dew-steeped flowers
  Wave gently round her head.

  Emily Bronte

  Summer, Sweet, Flower

  Emily Bronte, “Moonlight, Summer Moonlight”

• The night is darkening round me,
  The wild winds coldly blow;
  But a tyrant spell has bound me
  And I cannot, cannot go.
  The giant trees are bending
  Their bare boughs weighed with snow;
  The storm is fast descending,
  And yet I cannot go.
  Clouds beyond clouds above me,
  Wastes beyond wastes below;
  But nothing drear can move me;
  I will not, cannot go.

  Emily Bronte

  Moving, Night, Blow
