Shall Earth No More Insprie Thee (by Emily Brontë)
Shall Earth No More Inspire Thee by Emily Bronte Shall Earth no more inspire thee, Thou lonely dreamer now ? Since passion may not fire thee Shall nature cease to bow ?
Thy mind is ever moving In regions dark to thee; Recall its useless roving - Come back and dwell with me -
I know my mountain breezes Enchant annd soothe thee still - I know my sunshine pleases Despite thy wayward will -
When day with evening blending Sinks from the summer sky, I've seen thy spirit bending In fond idolotry -
I've watched thee every hour - I know my mighty sway - I know my magic power To drive thy griefs away -
Few hearts to mortal given On earth so wildly pine Yet none would ask a Heaven More like this Earth than thine -
Then let my winds caress thee - Thy comrade let me be - Since nought beside can bless thee Return and dwell with me -
