the power of love - ghizela rowe - anne bronte lyrics

Loading...

love, indeed thy strength is mighty
thus, alone, such strife to bear —
three ‘gainst one, and never ceasing —
death, and madness, and despair!
’tis not my own strength has saved me;
health, and hope, and fortitude
but for love, had long since failed me;
heart and soul had sunk subdued

often, in my wild impatience
i have lost my trust in heaven
and my soul has tossed and struggled
like a vessel tempest+driven;

but the voice of my beloved
in my ear has seemed to say —
‘o, be patient if thou lov’st me!’
and the storm has passed away

when outworn with weary thinking
sight and thought were waxing dim
and my mind began to wander
and my brain began to swim

then those hands outstretched to save me
seemed to call me back again —
those dark eyes did so implore me
to resume my reason’s reign
that i could not but remember
how her hopes were fixed on me
and, with one determined effort
rose, and shook my spirit free

when hope leaves my weary spirit —
all the power to hold it gone —
that loved voice so loudly prays me
‘for my sake, keep hoping on,’

that, at once my strength renewing
though despair had crushed me down
i can burst his bonds asunder
and defy his deadliest frown

when, from nights of restless tossing
days of gloom and pining care
pain and weakness, still increasing
seem to whisper ‘death is near,’

and i almost bid him welcome
knowing he would bring release
weary of this restless struggle —
longing to repose in peace

then a glance of fond reproval
bids such selfish longings flee
and a voice of matchless music
murmurs ‘cherish life for me!’
roused to newborn strength and courage
pain and grief, i cast away
health and life, i keenly follow
mighty death is held at bay

yes, my love, i will be patient!
firm and bold my heart shall be:
fear not — though this life is dreary
i can bear it well for thee

let our foes still rain upon me
cruel wrongs and taunting scorn;
’tis for thee their hate pursues me
and for thee, it shall be borne!
