Richard Johnson Art
Riches I hold in light esteem
Riches I hold in light esteem
Yes, as my swift days near their goal
Emily Jane Brontë
And Love I laugh to scorn
And lust of Fame was but a dream
That vanished with the morn–
And if I pray, the only prayer
That moves my lips for me
Is–'Leave the heart that now I bear
And give me liberty.'
'Tis all that I implore
Through life and death, a chainless soul
With courage to endure!
