by Emily Brontë (1818 - 1848)
The wind was rough which tore
Language: English
The wind was rough which tore The leaf from its parent tree The fate was cruel which bore The withering corpse to me We wander on we have no rest It is a dreary way What shadow is it That ever moves before [my] eyes It has a brow of ghostly whiteness
T. Fisk sets lines 1-4
