on moors and windy hills

I have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills
Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain:
I have seen the lady April bringing the daffodils,
Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.

I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of the sea,
And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails of ships;
But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me
Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips.

I just watched Jane Eyre for the 99th time...this reminds me of some scenes though it's not so bleak with the sun peeking through...beautiful!!

Looking very windswept there, John. Always a lovely view, though.

Very bleak view over these moors, Johnny. I like how the eye is led along the dry stone wall.BV

Bleak with a hint of light at the end of the tunnel.
Ready for winter John.

I really like this pic, focusing as it does on the curving stonewall, not to mention those great beams of light.
And wonderful words too.
