If grief for grief can touch thee, <br />If answering woe for woe, <br />If any truth can melt thee <br />Come to me now! <br /> <br />I cannot be more lonely, <br />More drear I cannot be! <br />My worn heart beats so wildly <br />'Twill break for thee-- <br /> <br />And when the world despises-- <br />When Heaven repels my prayer-- <br />Will not mine angel comfort? <br />Mine idol hear? <br /> <br />Yes, by the tears I'm poured, <br />By all my hours of pain <br />O I shall surely win thee, <br />Beloved, again!<br /><br />Emily Jane Brontë<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-grief-for-grief-can-touch-thee/
