The Poems of Charlotte Bronté (Classic Reprint)

Pilate's wife's dream.

I've quench'd my lamp, I struck it in that start
Which every limb convulsed, I heard it fall -
The crash blent with my sleep, I saw depart
Its light, even as I woke, on yonder wall:
Over against my bed, there shone a gleam
Strange, faint, and mingling also with my dream.
