Welcome to the Late Night Tales story, Ah Why? Because the Dazzling Sun, written by Emily Bronte
and read by me, Lauren Laverne. Ah, why? Because the dazzling sun restored my earth to joy,
have you departed, everyone, and left a desert sky? All through the night your glorious eyes
were gazing down in mine, and with a full heart's thankful sighs I blessed that watch divine.
I was at peace and drank your beams as they were life to me, and reveled in my changeful dreams
like petrol on the sea. Thought followed thought, star followed star, through boundless regions on,
while one sweet influence,
near and far, thrilled through and proved us one. Why did the morning rise to break, so great,
so pure a spell, and scorch with fire the tranquil cheek where your cool radiance fell?
Blood red he rose, and arrow straight, his fierce beams struck my brow. The soul of nature sprang
elate, but mine sank sad and lonely.
My lids closed down, yet through their veil I saw him, blazing still, and bathe in gold the misty
dale, and flash upon the hill. I turned me to the pillow then, to call back night, and see
your worlds of solemn light again, throb with my heart and me. It would not do, the pillow glowed,
and glowed both roof and roof, and glowed both roof and roof, and glowed both roof and roof, and glowed
like the stars again.
Who has spiker petrified recessions far removed, near the
sublime съ
snowstorm?




warm but burn. That drains the blood of suffering men, drinks tears instead of dew.
Let me sleep through his blinding rain and only wake with you.
You have been listening to Late Night Tales, music and stories worth staying up for.
