The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë, That Word 'Never'

LII

THAT WORD 'NEVER'

Not many years but long enough to see
No ten can deal such deadly misery
As the dear friend untimely called away;
And still the more beloved, the greater still
Must be the aching void, the withering chill
Of each dark night and dim, beclouded day.

December 23 [1839].
