The Complete Poetry of Emily Brontë (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Visionary Victorian Lyrics of Death, Faith, Liberty, and the Yorkshire MoorsBy Emily Brontë
Length7h 28m
About this audiobook
The Complete Poetry of Emily Brontë gathers the fierce, visionary lyrics through which Brontë fashioned an imaginative world as compelling as the moors of Wuthering Heights. These poems range from metaphysical meditations on death, liberty, faith, and endurance to dramatic fragments associated with the Gondal saga she created with her siblings. Written in a style at once austere and passionate, they stand within Romantic and early Victorian traditions while resisting both through their stark inwardness and elemental power. Emily Brontë, born in 1818 in Yorkshire, lived a brief and intensely private life shaped by rural isolation, family bereavement, and the extraordinary literary culture of the Brontë household. Her experiences on the Haworth moors, her imaginative collaboration with Anne, and her resistance to conventional social and religious consolations all inform the poetry's brooding grandeur and spiritual independence. This collection is essential for readers who know Brontë only as the author of Wuthering Heights, as well as for students of nineteenth-century literature. It reveals a major poetic intelligence: severe, musical, unsentimental, and profoundly alive to the struggles of the soul.

139Through the hours of yesternight
45Lord of Elbe, on Elbe hill
140Darkness was overtraced on every face
46Cold, clear, and blue the morning heaven
141Harp of wild and dream-like
47Tell me, tell me, smiling child
142The old church tower and garden wall
48High waving heather 'neath stormy blasts bending
143There swept adown that dreary glen
49The night of storms has past
144In dungeons dark I cannot sing
50I saw thee, child, one summer day
145When days of beauty deck the vale
51The battle had passed from the height
146Still beside that dreary water
52Alone I sat; the summer day
147The evening sun was sinking down
53The night is darkening round me
148Fall, leaves, fall, die flowers
54I'll come when thou art saddest
149Loud without the wind was roaring
55I would have touched the heavenly key
150All day I've toiled, but not with pain
56Now trust a heart that trusts in you
151There was a time when my cheek burned
57Sleep brings no joy to me
152Mild the mist upon the hill
58Strong I stand, though I have borne
153The starry night shall tidings bring
59O Mother! I am not regretting
154The organ swells, the trumpets sound
60Awake, awake! how loud the stormy morning
155What winter floods, what streams of spring
61O wander not so far away!
156None of my kindred now can tell
62Why do I hate that lone green dell?
157Ladybird! ladybird! fly away home
63Gleneden's Dream
158I've been wandering in the greenwoods
64It's over now; I've known it all
159May flowers are opening
65This shall be thy lullaby
160That dreary lake, that moonlight sky
66'Twas one of those dark, cloudy days
161Heaven's glory shone where he was laid

163I know not how it falls on me
69Geraldine, the moon is shining
164Month after month, year after year
70Where were ye all? and where wert thou?
165She dried her tears and they did smile
71Light up thy halls! 'Tis closing day
166I'm happiest now when most away
72O dream, where art thou now?
167Weaned from life and flown away
73How still, how happy! These are words
168All hushed and still within the house
74The night was dark, yet winter breathed
169The sunshine of a summer sun
75The Absent One
170My ancient ship upon my ancient sea
76To the Bluebell
171I do not see myself again
77The busy day has hurried by
172Yet o'er his face a solemn light
78And now the house dog stretched once more
173To a Wreath of Snow
79Come hither, child; who gifted thee
174Song: King Julius left the south country
80How long will you remain? The midnight hour
175Lines: I die, but when the grave shall press
81Fair sinks the summer evening now
176Song: O between distress and pleasure
82The wind I hear it sighing
177Shed no tears o'er that tomb
83That wind, I used to hear it swelling
178Sleep not, dream not; this bright day
84Thy sun is near meridian height
179Lines By Claudia
85Far, far is mirth withdrawn
180Lines: Far away is the land of rest
86It is too late to call thee now
181Lines: The soft unclouded blue of air
87If grief for grief can touch thee
182One pause upon the brink of life
88Geraldine
183The heart which cannot know another
89I see around me piteous tombstones grey
184Why ask to know what date, what clime
