Sofie sings Emily Brontë poems on her forth coming album in December- Weep The Time Away – first single release will be in August – Shall Earth No More Inspire Thee!

no122 “Shall Earth no more inspire thee” av Emily Jane Brontë (1837)
 

 Shall Earth no more inspire thee,
 Thou lonely dreamer now?
 Since passion may not fire thee
 Shall Nature cease to bow?
 

 Thy mind is ever moving
 In regions dark to thee;
 Recall its useless roving - 
 Come back and dwell with me - 
 

 I know my mountain breezes
 Enchant and sotthe thee still - 
 I know my sunshine pleases
 Despite thy wayward will - 
 

 When day with evening blending
 Sinks from the summer sky,
 I’ve seen thy spirit bending
 In fond idolatry - 

 I’ve watched thee every hour - 
 Iknow my mighty sway - 
 I know my magic power
 To drive thy griefs away - 
 

 Few hearts to mortals given
 On earth so wildly pine
 Yet none would ask a Heaven
 More like this Earth than thine - 
 

 Then let my winds caress thee-
 Thy comrade let me be - 
 Since nought beside can bless thee
 Return and dwell with me -

“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” Emily Brontë Nov 1837
