Speak of the North! A Lonely Moor By Charlotte Bronte "I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained." ~ Psalm 8:3 ~ peak of the North! A lonely moor Silent and dark and tractless swells, The waves of some wild streamlet pour Hurriedly through its ferny dells. Profoundly still the twilight air, Lifeless the landscape; so we deem Till like a phantom gliding near A stag bends down to drink the stream. And far away a mountain zone, A cold, white waste of snow-drifts lies, And one star, large and soft and lone, Silently lights the unclouded skies.
