letra de charlotte bronte - an extract of the wife's will - ghizela rowe

‘duty commands?’ ’tis true’ tis just;
thy slightest word i wholly trust
nor by request, nor faintest sigh
would i, to turn thy purpose, try;
but, william hear my solemn vow
hear and confirm!with thee i go

‘ distance and suffering,’ did’st thou say?
‘ danger by night, and toil by day?’
oh, idle words, and vain are these;
hear me! i cross with thee the seas
such risk as thou must meet and dare
i thy true wife will duly share

passive, at home, i will not pine;
thy toils thy perils, shall be mine;
grant this and be hereafter paid
by a warm heart’s devoted aid:
’tis granted with that yielding kiss
entered my soul unmingled bliss

thanks, william thanks! thy love has joy
pure undefiled with base alloy;
’tis not a passion, false and blind
inspires, enchains, absorbs my mind;
worthy, i feel, art thou to be
loved with my perfect energy
this evening, now, shall sweetly flow
lit by our clear fire’s happy glow;
and parting’s peace—embittering fear
is warned, our hearts to come not near;
for fate admits my soul’s decree
in bliss or bale to go with thee!
