POEMS OF EMILY BRONTË
But if to weep above her grave Be such a priceless boon, Go, shed thy tears in Ocean's wave And they will reach it soon.
Yet midst thy wild repining, Mad though that anguish be, Think heaven on her is shining Even as it shines on thee.
With thy mind's vision pierce the deep, Look now she rests below, And tell me, why such blessed sleep Should cause such bitter woe?
