Friday Poetry: Emily Bronte

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has had a good week so far and has some good plans for the weekend.

My chosen poem this week is by one of my favourite authors Emily Bronte (1818-1848).

Past, Present, Future

Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee?
'An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.'

Tell me, what is the present hour?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.'

And what is the future, happy one?
'A sea beneath a cloudless sun;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.'

Emily Bronte
