Genius and tragedy seemed to go side by side in the lives of the 3 Bronte sisters...a melancholia born no doubt of her experiences of lifes frailty seem to permeate much of Emily Jane Brontes poems....This beautiful bitter sweet rather lyrical poem seems to cry out at the seemingly impossible dream of holding onto love....Alas poor Emily Jane to be forever remembered for her "Wuthering Heights" was to die at the young age of thirty of tuberculosis....heres the link to the page with the sound file for this poem
Oh Dream, where art thou now by Emily Bronte 1818 - 1848 (musical sound poem)

O dream, where art thou now?
Long years have passed away
Since last from off thine angel brow
I saw the light decay.

Alas! alas for me!
Thou wert so bright and fair,
I could not think thy memory
Would yield me nought but care!

The moonbeam and the storm,
The summer eve divine,
The silent night of solemn calm,
The full moon's cloudless shine,

Were once entwined with thee,
But now with weary pain
Lost vision! 'tis enough for me
Thou canst not shine again.
