I used to bike around Heidelberg and recite this poem for months while driving, some thought I was slightly mad^^. In fact the last lines Emily Bronte wrote were not these (like Charlotte wrote), but "Why ask to know what date, what clime", May 13, 1848, a Gondal poem.
Concerning the reading: Emma Fielding reads the right version^^(it is "moon", and 'since' is right too, see Juliet Barker, The Brontes, 2010, p.570f, or E.B. poems, penguin, p.182). Thanks a lot for this poem, metrisch!
The picture above the poem is that of Emily's sister, Charlotte Brontë.
