by Emily Brontë (1818 - 1848)
Well, narrower draw the circle round
Language: English
Well, narrower draw the circle round And hush that scornful solemn sound And quench the lamp and stir the fire To rouse its flickering radiance higher Loop up the window's velvet veil That we may hear the night-wind wail For wild those gusts and well their chimes Blend with a song of troubled times
