Sleeping In The Forest
I thought the earth remembered me, she
took me back so tenderly, arranging
her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds. I slept
as never before, a stone
on the riverbed, nothing
between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts,

as never before, a stone

between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts,
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
~ Emily Brontë

Did you know?
In the Victorian era, London’s overcrowded graveyards sometimes erupted.
Coffins were crammed so tightly into shallow churchyards that the gases of decomposition built up beneath the soil. The ground would swell and burst open to reveal decomposing corpses.
