Quotation from: The Professor

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


He yet begrudged and stinted praise,
But I had learnt to read
The secret meaning of his face,
And that was my best meed.


Even when his hasty temper spoke
In tones that sorrow stirred,
My grief was lulled as soon as woke
By some relenting word.


And when he lent some precious book,
Or gave some fragrant flower,
I did not quail to Envy's look,
Upheld by Pleasure's power.
