by Emily Brontë
Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee ?
“An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.”
Tell me, what is the present hour ?
“A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.”
And what is the future, happy one ?
“A sea beneath a cloudless sun ;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.”
What the past is like to thee ?
“An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.”
Tell me, what is the present hour ?
“A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.”
And what is the future, happy one ?
“A sea beneath a cloudless sun ;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.”
