Tears on the moor
Eyre's broken dreams scatter
Thornfield's gossip and chatter
Words echo in western wind
Memory's wake blood paints
Three cords twined
False pretenses taints
Lies confined
Heart dictates
Hope drowns
Love waits
Darkness sounds
Silence condemns
Grace extends
Laughter and scorn ring
The road ends
Beauty unveiled
Stars shimmer
Separation travailed
Bodies quiver
Morning breaks
Night claws
Emptiness's aches
Despair's paws
Dagger cuts
Tears on the moor
Eyre's broken dreams scatter
