"I THANK ALL WHO HAVE LOVED ME IN THEIR HEARTS"

I thank all who have loved me in their hearts

With thanks and love from mine

Deep thanks to all

Who paused a little near the prison-wall

To hear my music in its louder parts

Ere they went onward, each one to the mart's

Or temple's occupation, beyond call.

But thou, who, in my voice's sink and fall

When the sob took it, thy divinest Art's

Own instrument didst drop down at thy foot

To hearken what I said between my tears, . .

Instruct me how to thank thee! Oh, to shoot

My soul's full meaning into future years

That they should lend it utterance, and salute

Love that endures, from Life that disappears! 

Original Poem by: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
