I am not regretting Awake, awake! how loud the stormy morning O wander not so far away! Why do I hate that lone green dell? Gleneden's Dream It's over now; I've known it all ⁠This shall be thy lullaby 'Twas one of those dark, cloudy days Douglas Ride ⁠What rider up Gobeloin's glen ⁠Geraldine, the moon is shining Where were ye all? and where wert thou? Light up thy halls! 'Tis closing day O dream, where art thou now? How still, how happy! These are words The night was dark, yet winter breathed The Absent One… To the Bluebell The busy day has hurried by And now the house dog stretched once more Come hither, child; who gifted thee… Emily Brontë: Biography by Robinson
