Anne Brontë,
Alexander and Zenobia
“ And lo! he pauses when he hears Its gentle murmuring. He dares not enter through the trees That veil it from his eye; He listens for some other sound In deep anxiety. But vainly - all is calm and still; Are his bright day dreams o'er? Has he thus hoped and longed in vain, And must they meet no more? One moment more of sad suspense And those dark trees are past; The lonely well bursts on his sight And they are met at last! This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
