The Night Is Darkening Around Me
Posted on 2003-08-04
Nothing has triggered any negative thoughts, and nobody has upset me, yet I am feeling very melancholy this evening.
One of my favorite poems seems fitting for today, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.....
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending,
Their bare boughs weighed with snow;
The storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me:
I will not, cannot go.
by Emily Bronte
