Explore "Views of Life. Acton Bell" by Charlotte Brontë on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When sinks my heart in hopeless gloom, / And life can show no joy for me; / And I behold a yawning tomb, / Where bowers and palaces should be;
In vain you talk of morbid dreams; / In vain you gaily smiling say, / That what to me so dreary seems, / The healthy mind deems bright and gay.
