Emily Jane Brontë: The Complete Poems | ||
38.
[Deep deep down in the silent grave]
Deep deep down in the silent grave
With none to mourn above
With none to mourn above
Here with my knee upon thy stone
I bid adieu to feelings gone
I leave with thee my tears and pain
And rush into the world again
I bid adieu to feelings gone
I leave with thee my tears and pain
And rush into the world again
O come again what chains withhold
The steps that used so fleet to be—
Come leave thy dwelling dark and cold
Once more to visit me
The steps that used so fleet to be—
Come leave thy dwelling dark and cold
Once more to visit me
Was it with the fields of green
Blowing flower and budding tree
With the summer heaven serene
That thou didst visit me?
Blowing flower and budding tree
With the summer heaven serene
That thou didst visit me?
No 'twas not the flowery plain
No 'twas not the fragrant air
Summer skies will come again
But thou wilt not be there—
No 'twas not the fragrant air
Summer skies will come again
But thou wilt not be there—
