When weary with the long day's careA
And earthly change from pain to painB
And lost and ready to despairA
Thy kind voice calls me back againC
Oh my true friend I am not loneD
While then canst speak with such a toneD
-
So hopeless is the world withoutE
The world within I doubly prizeF
Thy world where guile and hate and doubtE
And cold suspicion never riseF
Where thou and I and LibertyG
Have undisputed sovereigntyG
-
What matters it that all aroundH
Danger and guilt and darkness lieI
If but within our bosom's boundH
We hold a bright untroubled skyI
Warm with ten thousand mingled raysJ
Of suns that know no winter daysJ
-
Reason indeed may oft complainB
For Nature's sad realityG
And tell the suffering heart how vainB
Its cherished dreams must always beG
And Truth may rudely trample downK
The flowers of Fancy newly blownD
-
But thou art ever there to bringL
The hovering vision back and breatheM
New glories o'er the blighted springL
And call a lovelier Life from DeathN
And whisper with a voice divineO
Of real worlds as bright as thineO
-
I trust not to thy phantom blissP
Yet still in evening's quiet hourQ
With never failing thankfulnessP
I welcome thee Benignant PowerQ
Sure solacer of human caresP
And sweeter hope when hope despairsP

Emily Bronte
