Past, Present, Future

Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee?
'An Autumn evening so soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.'

Tell me, what is the present hour?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.'

And what is the future, happy one?
'A sea beneath a cloudless sun;
A mighty glorious dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.'

-Emily Brontë
