Charlotte, Emily and Anne

poem by: Geoffrey Heath Price
Written on Jan 18, 2016

There's a darkness in the hallway
A cold, cold silence hangs about
Now that the final candle
Has flickered and died out.

The wind without the four walls
Turns its whisper to a weep
But neither wind nor rain can enter
Where all the sisters sleep.

Out across the moorlands
The winter's packed and gone
And springtime reigns majestic
With the first new lambs now born.

But the sisters they see nothing
There is a darkness in their eyes
Imprisoned thus forever
No door nor window to the skies.

Time has passed and proven
Each one equal to any man
So we treasure the web once woven
By Charlotte - Emily and Anne.

Geoffrey Price.   1997.
