Oh, They Have Robbed Me Of The Hope

Anne Bronte

Oh, they have robbed me of the hope
        My spirit held so dear;
They will not let me hear that voice
        My soul delights to hear. 
They will not let me see that face
        I so delight to see;
And they have taken all thy smiles,
        And all thy love from me.

Well, let them seize on all they can: --
        One treasure still is mine, --
A heart that loves to think on thee,
        And feels the worth of thine.
