Mild The Mist Upon The Hill

By Emily Bronte

Topics: classic

Mild the mist upon the hill     Telling not of storms tomorrow;     No, the day has wept its fill,     Spent its store of silent sorrow.     O, I'm gone back to the days of youth,     I am a child once more,     And 'neath my father's sheltering roof     And near the old hall door     I watch this cloudy evening fall     After a day of rain;     Blue mists, sweet mists of summer pall     The horizon's mountain chain.     The damp stands on the long green grass     As thick as morning's tears,     And dreamy scents of fragrance pass     That breathe of other years.
