FEBRUARY TWILIGHT
I stood beside a hill 5th
Smooth with new-laid snow, A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.
There was no other creature That saw what I could see —
I stood and watched the evening star As long as it watched me.
Sara Teasdale
SPELLBOUND
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
