Analysis of The Sun Has Set
Emily Jane Brontë 1818 (Thornton) – 1848 (Haworth)
The sun has set, and the long grass now
Waves dreamily in the evening wind;
And the wild bird has flown from that old gray stone
In some warm nook a couch to find.
In all the lonely landscape round
I see no light and hear no sound,
Except the wind that far away
Come sighing o'er the healthy sea.
