Anne Bronte

A Prayer

My God (oh, let me call Thee mine, Weak, wretched sinner though I be), My trembling soul would fain be Thine; My feeble faith still clings to Thee. Not only for the Past I grieve, The Future fills me with dismay; Unless Thou hasten to relieve, Thy suppliant is a castaway. I cannot say my faith is strong, I dare not hope my love is great; But strength and love to Thee belong; Oh, do not leave me desolate! I know I owe my all to Thee; Oh, TAKE the heart I cannot give! Do Thou my strength--my Saviour be, And MAKE me to Thy glory live.

Anne Bronte

The Doubter's Prayer

Eternal Power, of earth and air! Unseen, yet seen in all around, Remote, but dwelling everywhere, Though silent, heard in every sound. If e'er thine ear in mercy bent, When wretched mortals cried to Thee, And if, indeed, Thy Son was sent, To save lost sinners such as me: Then hear me now, while, kneeling here, I lift to thee my heart and eye, And all my soul ascends in prayer, Oh, give me - give me Faith! I cry. Without some glimmering in my heart, I could not raise this fervent prayer; But, oh! a stronger light impart, And in Thy mercy fix it there.

Biografía

She was the youngest of the three Brontë sisters, writing under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Her poetry often addresses themes of religious devotion, isolation, and loss, drawing on personal experience and the Yorkshire landscape. The tone is frequently reflective and melancholic, yet underscored by a quiet resilience. She contributed to the joint volume Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell in 1846. Her work is distinguished from that of her sisters by its direct emotional sincerity and moral seriousness. Though her poetic output was smaller, it has been valued for its graceful melody and introspective depth. Her verse forms part of the enduring Brontë literary heritage.
