"The night is darkening round me" by Emily Bronte

This is the Sulpician Seminary, the College de Montreal, 
on Sherbrooke Street West near Fort and Towers, near Atwater;
that is one of the towers. Taken in 2013.

              

The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow;
The storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
