by Emily Brontë (1818 - 1848)
And first an hour of mournful musing
Language: English
And first an hour of mournful musing And then a gush of bitter tears And then a dreary calm diffusing Its deadly mist o'er joys and cares And then a throb and then a lightening And then a breathing from above And then a star in heaven brightening The star the glorious star of love
