"Lines" is a poem written by English writer Emily Brontë (1818–1848) in December 1837. It is understood that the poem was written in the Haworth parsonage, two years after Brontë had left Roe Head, where she was unable to settle as a pupil.
Sibilance is used most successfully in stanzas one and five. The writer uses sibilance to imitate the sound and atmosphere she describes. In stanza one, she is imitating the "silent sign," and in stanza five she is trying to create a serene atmosphere that is "soft" and "sweetly spoke" by using the soft "s" sound repeatedly.
Brontë's love of the sea is expressed in this poem. In it, the sea is portrayed as "The Great Liberator". [2]The line "the long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing" and the footnote she wrote at the bottom of the poem reveals that Brontë "loved wild weather, as she loved the sea, and hard country and snow".

The poem appears to be a Gondal poem from the writing style, but there is nothing in the poem to confirm this theory. The narrator is an anonymous woman. There is no known character by the name of Edward in the Gondal Saga, and the one vague reference to "Arden's lake" is unhelpful because it is not a known place in either the Gondal world or the Glass Town Confederacy.
