by Emily Brontë (1818 - 1848)

[No title]
 (Sung text for setting by T. Fisk)
 See base text
Language: English 
Aye there it is - it wakes tonight
Sweet thoughts that will not die
And feeling's fires flash all as bright
As in the years gone by

 ... 

Yes I could swear that glorious wind
Has swept the world aside
Has dashed its memory from my mind
Like foam bells from the tide

And thou art now a spirit pouring
Thy presence into all
The essence of the Tempest's roaring
And of the Tempest's fall

A universal influence
From my own influence free
A principle of life intense
Lost to mortality

Thus truly when the breast is cold
The prisoned soul shall rise
The dungeon mingle with the mould
The captive with the skies
Note: in the Fisk work, this is sung by Heathcliff
