A letter everyday even if Jane cannot see it
Jane Eyre poem tribute

When we have last parted, my dear Jane,
Through the torn silver light,
I swore this as deeply sewn as my father’s name
I, Edward, do not go without a fight
I fight through my heart even as I am weak man,
Thoughtful as first flesh and blood, wrought out of seizing flowering carbon and burning red rose streams—-
I will write to you, dear Jane,
Every day, every hour
In my mind,
On parchment
On the sidewalks and street-ways
So you may one day see,
Read as I read you, as you cleverly read my countenance every morn’,
A dreaming little bird who is free
And not lonely, yet solitary
A little lemon flower
That sounds like my favorite type of rain.
