I'm Happiest When Most Away

Emily Brontë 1838 9th Grade

I'm happiest when most away

I can bear my soul from its home of clay

On a windy night when the moon is bright

And the eye can wander through worlds of light —

When I am not and none beside —

Nor earth nor sea nor cloudless sky —

But only spirit wandering wide

Through infinite immensity.
