Life
Life, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall ?
Rapidly, merrily,
Life’s sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly!
What though Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O’er hope, a heavy sway?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair!
Charlotte Bronte
In this poem Charlotte Bronte writes that there is no need to give up. After all bad, something good will definitely come. The main message which the poet trying to get across is keep hoping.
Charlotte Bronte was one of the most talented lady of English romanticism and realism. Her nickname was Currer Bell. She was Born on the 21 of April in 1816 in great Britain. She worked as a teacher and governess in different cities. In 1847, she published her main novel, Jane Eyre, which made her successful. In fact, her sister Emily Bronte was also a writer and author of the best-selling book "Wuthering heights"
To sum up, I really enjoy this poem, as it gives me hope. In my opinion, it would be wonderful motivation for me and other people. No matter how old are you. Teenager or an adult.
