"On the Death of Anne Brontë" by Charlotte BrontëThere's little joy in life for me,
And little terror in the grave;
I've lived the parting hour to see
Of one I would have died to save.Calmly to watch the failing breath,
Wishing each sigh might be the last;
Longing to see the shade of death
O'er those belovèd features cast.The cloud, the stillness that must part
The darling of my life from me;
And then to thank God from my heart,
To thank Him well and fervently;Although I knew that we had lost
The hope and glory of our life;
And now, benighted, tempest-tossed,
Must bear alone the weary strife.
