Analysis of Silent is the House
Emily Jane Brontë 1818 (Thornton) – 1848 (Haworth)
Come, the wind may never again
Blow as now it blows for us;
And the stars may never again shine as now they shine;
Long before October returns,
Seas of blood will have parted us;
And you must crush the love in your heart, and I the love in mine!
