"To Imagination"

by pdpoetry

"The Wanderer From The Fold"

by pdpoetry

By: Emily Bronte How few, of all the hearts that loved, Are grieving for thee now; And why should mine to-night be moved With such a sense of woe? Too often thus, when left alone, Where none my thoughts can see, Comes back a word, a passi...

"The Visionary"

"The Two Children"

"The Prisoner"

by pdpoetry

By: Emily Bronte A fragment. In the dungeon-crypts idly did I stray, Reckless of the lives wasting there away; "Draw the ponderous bars! open, Warder stern!" He dared not say me nay--the hinges harshly turn. "Our guests are darkly lodge...

"The Philosopher"

"The Old Stoic"

by pdpoetry

By: Emily Bronte Riches I hold in light esteem, And Love I laugh to scorn; And lust of fame was but a dream, That vanished with the morn: And if I pray, the only prayer That moves my lips for me Is, "Leave the heart that now I bear, And g...

"The Night-wind"
