The Poets Pluck- Emily Bronte

Mild the mist upon the hill
       As this in dreams I see
 What sadness this within me fills while
   The night is darkening around me

  My dreamscape changes to a meadow, but
 I see around me tombstones grey
 No butterflies will flutter by
   Where once I used to play

  Oh for the time when I shall sleep
       Without the sadness my dreams now spawn
   But now they keep me where tombstones rise
  Far far away is mirth withdrawn
                   -                 -                                        

 The lines in bold are titles from Emily Bronte's poems.
