Emily Brontë - Riches I hold in light esteem lyrics

Riches I hold in light esteem 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.' Yes, as my swift days near their goal 'Tis all that I implore Through life and d**h, a chainless soul With courage to endure!
