by Emily Brontë (1818 - 1848)
The soft unclouded blue of air
Language: English
The soft unclouded blue of air, The earth as golden-green and fair And bright as Eden's used to be: That air and earth have rested me. Laid on the grass I lapsed away, Sank back again to childhood's day; All harsh thoughts perished, memory mild Subdued both grief and passion wild.
