I'M HAPPIEST WHEN MOST AWAY by EMILY JANE BRONTE

Poet Analysis

Subject(s): HAPPINESS; JOY; DELIGHT;

I'm happiest when most away
I can bear my soul from its home of clay
On a windy night when the moon is bright
And the eye can wander through worlds of light -


When I am not and none beside -
Nor earth nor sea nor cloudless sky -
But only spirit wandering wide
Through infinite immensity.
