    Published in the 1846 collection Poems By Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell under Anne's nom de plume 'Acton Bell'.
    ***

    I mourn with thee, and yet rejoice
    That thou shouldst sorrow so;
    With angel choirs I join my voice
    To bless the sinner's woe.

    Though friends and kindred turn away,
    And laugh thy grief to scorn;
    I hear the great Redeemer say,
    "Blessed are ye that mourn."

    Hold on thy course, nor deem it strange
    That earthly cords are riven:
    Man may lament the wondrous change,
    But "there is joy in heaven!"
