Spellbound, a poem by Emily Brontė
The night is darkening round me,
The wild
winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with
snow.
And the
storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond
clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
- by Emily Brontė (1814-1848, English writer)
