Poem by Emily Bronte

NO TONGUE WOULD ASK, NO EYE WOULD
MOURN;
I NEVER CAUSED A THOUGHT OF GLOOM,
A SMILE OF JOY, SINCE I WAS BORN.

THIS CHANGEFUL LIFE HAS SLIPPED
AWAY,
AS FRIENDLESS AFTER EIGHTEEN
YEARS,
AS LONE AS ON MY NATAL DAY.
10. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I CANNOT HIDE,
THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN THIS WAS
DREAR,
WHEN MY SAD SOUL FORGOT ITS PRIDE
AND LONGED FOR ONE TO LOVE ME HERE.
11. BUT THOSE WERE IN THE EARLY GLOW
OF FEELINGS SINCE SUBDUED BY
CARE;
AND THEY HAVE DIED SO LONG AGO,
I HARDLY NOW BELIEVE THEY WERE.
12. FIRST MELTED OFF THE HOPE OF YOUTH,
THEN FANCY’S RAINBOW FAST WITHDREW;
AND THEN EXPERIENCE TOLD ME TRUTH
IN MORTAL BOSOMS NEVER GREW.

ALL HOLLOW, SERVILE, INSINCERE;
BUT WORSE TO TRUST TO MY OWN MIND
AND FIND THE SAME CORRUPTION THERE
