THE OLD CHURCH TOWER by EMILY JANE BRONTE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE OLD CHURCH TOWER AND GARDEN WALL
Subject(s): EVENING; AUTUMN; SUNSET; TWILIGHT; FALL;
The old church tower and garden wall
Are black with Autumn rain
And dreary winds foreboding call
The darkness down again
I watched how evening took the place
Of glad and glorious day
I watched a deeper gloom efface
The evening's lingering ray
And as I gazed on the cheerless sky
Sad thoughts rose in my mind.
