anne bronte - if this be all - jo wyatt lyrics

Loading...

o god! if this indeed be all
that life can show to me;
if on my aching brow may fall
no freshening dew from thee;

if with no brighter light than this
the lamp of hope may glow
and i may only dream of bliss
and wake to weary woe;

if friendship’s solace must decay
when other joys are gone
and love must keep so far away
while i go wandering on,—

wandering and toiling without gain
the slave of others’ will
with constant care, and frequent pain
despised, forgotten still;

grieving to look on vice and sin
yet powerless to quell
the silent current from within
the outward torrent’s swell

while all the good i would impart
the feelings i would share
are driven backward to my heart
and turned to wormwood there;
if clouds must ever keep from sight
the glories of the sun
and i must suffer winter’s blight
ere summer is begun;

if life must be so full of care
then call me soon to thee;
or give me strength enough to bear
my load of misery
