Anne Brontë

Summary

Portrait of Anne Brontë Anne Brontë,  The Narrow Way

“ Waive pleasure and renown;
The World's dread scoff undaunted bear,
And face its deadliest frown.
To labour and to love,
To pardon and endure,
To lift thy heart to God above,
And keep thy conscience pure,
Be this thy constant aim,
Thy hope and thy delight,
What matters who should whisper blame,
Or who should scorn or slight?
What matters - if thy God approve,
And if within thy breast,
Thou feel the comfort of his love,
The earnest of his rest?
This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
