charlotte bronte - on the death of emily jane bronte - anna bentinick lyrics

Loading...

my darling thou wilt never know
the grinding agony of woe
that we have bourne for thee
thus may we consolation tear
e’en from the depth of our despair
and wasting misery

the nightly anguish thou art spared
when all the crushing truth is bared
to the awakening mind
when the galled heart is pierced with grief
till wildly it implores relief
but small relief can find

nor know’st thou what it is to lie
looking forth with streaming eye
on life’s lone wilderness
“weary, weary, dark and drear
how shall i the journey bear
the burden and distress?”

then since thou art spared such pain
we will not wish thee here again;
he that lives must mourn
god help us through our misery
and give us rest and joy with thee
when we reach our bourne!
