Emily Jane Brontë (Эмили Бронте)


Past, Present, Future


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.' 



Emily Jane Brontë's other poems:
  1. The Elder's Rebuke
  2. Often Rebuked, Yet Always Back Returning
  3. If Grief For Grief Can Touch Thee
  4. Warning and Reply
  5. The Lady to Her Guitar
