How merciless these hands of death
I know of three to tell
Curtailed the lives of Riding maids
Acton, Currer and Ellis Bell
Such feelings deep within them rose
And poured up on the page
Of Tenant or of Lowood School
And of Top Withens rage
Before consumption took its toll
They wrote beyond compare
The burning love of Emily
And Charlotte’s sweet Jane Eyre
Now travellers north to Haworth troop
To halt and see the site
And wander where the sisters did
Alone on Wuthering Heights
What about Branwell?

The Bronte SISTERS
I love the homage you pay to them.
thank you.
I love the Brontes and their brooding ways. Along with Delta, I thank you for your praise.

Emily was by far the best poet, I particularly like 'No Coward Soul' & 'High Waving Heather' but I'm serious about Branwell, he did write some good poetry. I quite like 'Lord Nelson'. I think he had a lot of talent even though he also had a lot of problems.
'There are two trees'
There are two trees in a lonely field;
They breathe a spell to me;
A dreary thought their dark boughs yield,
All waving solemnly.
~ Emily Brontë (June 1838)
