Emily Bront&euml 1818-1848 John Bartlett

 
1
    Still, as I mused, the naked room,
  The alien firelight died away;
And from the midst of cheerless gloom
  I passed to bright, unclouded day.
          A little While.

    A heaven so clear, an earth so calm,
  So sweet, so soft, so hushed an air;
And, deepening still the dreamlike charm,
  Wild moor-sheep feeding everywhere.
          A little While.
