anna bentinick - charlotte bronte - regret lyrics

long ago i wished to leave
“the house where i was born;”
long ago i used to grieve
my home seemed so forlorn
in other years, its silent rooms
were filled with haunting fears;
now, their very memory comes
o’ercharged with tender tears

life and marriage i have known
things once deemed so bright;
now, how utterly is flown
every ray of light!
’mid the unknown sea of life
i no blest isle have found;
at last, through all its wild wave’s strife
my bark is homeward bound

farewell, dark and rolling deep!
farewell, foreign shore!
open, in unclouded sweep
thou glorious realm before!
yet, though i had safely pass’d
that weary, vexed main
one loved voice, through surge and blast
could call me back again
though the soul’s bright morning rose
o’er paradise for me
william! even from heaven’s repose
i’d turn, invoked by thee!
storm nor surge should e’er arrest
my soul, exulting then:
all my heaven was once thy breast
would it were mine again!
