No coward soul is mine
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere
I see Heaven's glories shine
And Faith shines equal arming me from Fear
God within my breast
Almighty ever-present Deity
Life, that in me hast rest

That move men's hearts, unutterably vain,
Worthless as withered weeds
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main
To waken
I have posted two poems of Emily Bronte here. Though she is famous for her novel :The wuthering heights.

A smile of joy since I was born
In secret pleasure - secret tears
This changeful life has slipped away
As friendless after eighteen years
As lone as on my natal day
There
