Farewell to Thee! But not farewell
To all my fondest thoughts of thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell:
And they shall cheer and comfort me.
Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live
And men more true Thou wert one;
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give,
Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done.
Anne Bronte (1820 – 1849)
