Emily Bronte



Fall, leaves, fall


Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.




Emily Bronte (Thornton, Yorkshire, 1818 - Haworth, Yorkshire, 1848). Novelista y poetisa.
