 ~Jane Eyre

   

  Jane Eyre (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London, England, under the pen name "Currer Bell." The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York.

Primarily of the Bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of fictitious Thornfield Hall. In its internalisation of the action—the focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility, and all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry—Jane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction. Charlotte Brontë has been called the 'first historian of the private consciousness' and the literary ancestor of writers like Joyce and Proust. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.

~No Strings Attached

 ~~~ SONGS ~~~

 My Old Kentucky Home

by: Stephen Foster

The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
While the birds make music all the day.

The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
All merry, all happy and bright;
By 'n by hard times comes a knocking at the door
Then my old Kentucky home, Good-night!

Chorus: 

Weep no more my lady.
Oh! Weep no more today!
We will sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home, far away.

Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair

by: Stephen Foster 

I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair 

Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air 

I see her tripping where the bright streams play

 Happy as the daisies that dance on her way 

 

 Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour 

Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er 

Oh! I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair 

Floating, like a vapor, on the soft, summer air 

 

 I long for Jeannie with the day dawn smile 

Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile 

I hear her melodies, like joys gone by 

Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die 

 

 Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain 

Wailing for the lost one that comes not again 

Oh! I long for Jeannie, and my heart bows low

 Never more to find her where the bright waters flow 

 

 I sigh for Jeannie, but her light form strayed 

Far from the fond hearts round her native glade 

Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown

 Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone 

 

Now the nodding wild flow'rs may wither on the shore 

While her gentle fingers will cull them no more 

Oh! I sigh for Jeannie with the light brown hair 

Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air

 

Beautiful Dreamer

 by: Stephen Foster 

Beautiful dreamer,

Wake unto me
Starlight and dewdrops
Are awaiting thee

Sounds of the rude world
Heard in the day
Led by the moonlight
Have all passed away

Beautiful dreamer,
Queen of my song
List' while I woo thee
With soft melody

Gone are the cares of
Life's busy throng
Beautiful dreamer
Awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer,
Awake unto me
