THE SUN HAS SET by EMILY JANE BRONTE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SUN HAS SET AND THE LONG GRASS NOW
Last Line: COMES SIGHING O'ER THE HEATHY SEA
Subject(s): NATURE;

The sun has set and the long grass now
Waves drearily in the evening wind
And the wild bird has flown from that old grey stone
In some warm nook a couch to find

In all the lonely landscape round
I see no sight and hear no sound
Except the wind that far away
Comes sighing o'er the heathy sea
