"Tis moonlight, summer moonlight, All soft and still and fair; The solemn hour of midnight Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere, But most where trees are sending Their breezy boughs on high, Or stooping low are lending A shelter from the sky. And there in those wild bowers A lovely form is laid; Green grass and dew-steeped flowers Wave gently round her head."

She was a happy creautre, and an angel in those those days. It is a pity she could not stay content."

I have not broken your heart- you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine." ~Heathcliff"
