by Emily Brontë (1818 - 1848)
I gazed upon the cloudless moon
Language: English
I gazed upon the cloudless moon, And loved her all the night, Till morning came and radiant noon And I forgot her light - No, not forgot - eternally Remains its memory dear; But could the day seem dark to me Because the night was fair?
