Death & Dying

Month after month, year after year

by Emily Brontë 1818–1848

From Complete Poems (1910)

Death & Dying

Month after month, year after year,
My harp has poured a dreary strain;
At length a livelier note shall cheer,
And pleasure tune its chords again.

What though the stars and fair moonlight
Are quenched in morning dull and grey?
They are but tokens of the night,
And this, my soul, is day.
