Yes and he married again, afterwards. beginning a new life, I think in Ireland. But I never knew or forgot completely that he also wrote poetry. This poem can be found in Cottage Poems which can be downloaded at https://www.gutenberg.org/author/Bront%C3%AB,+Patrick. Maybe they are of interest for your poetry thursdays as they are moral poems, I liked the spider poem.
Ritual, interesting poem!
