by Emily Brontë (1818 - 1848)
Now trusts a heart that trusts in you
Language: English
Now trusts a heart that trusts in you And firmly say the word adieu Be sure wherever I may roam My heart is with your heart at home And whiter brows then yours may be And rosier cheeks my eyes may see And lightning looks from orbs divine Around my pathway burn and shine But that pure light changeless and strong Cherished and watched and nursed so long That love that first its glory gave Shall be my pole star to the grave
