Emily Brontë is known for her masterpiece ‘Wuthering Heights’. But, she was also a skilled poet. Along with her two sisters, Emily published Poems of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell in 1864.
Emily and her remaining siblings spent most of their time at home at Haworth. Here she explored her passion for writing.
Emily Brontë was notably influenced by writers such as Lord Byron, Anne Radcliffe, and her sisters, Anne and Charlotte Brontë.
Come, Walk With Me by Emily Brontë
Come, walk with me,
There’s only thee
To bless my spirit now –
We used to love on winter nights
To wander through the snow;
Can we not woo back old delights?
This poem uses heavy natural imagery and melancholic language to convey themes of nostalgia and sadness. The title is an invitation that is offered to an unclear second individual.
According to the first three lines, this person is the only person left in life to “bless the spirit” of the speaker, suggesting a deep emotional connection between the two. The next two lines suggest that they are old friends, who used to love walking through the snow on cold winter nights.
The speaker is remembering a precious time with the individual and they both have good memories.
