Alphabet Poem

A story of two families intertwined.
Bronte writes of those out of their mind.
Catherine and Heathcliff’s love never dimmed,(148)
Death couldn’t keep her from being with him.(265)
Enthralled with each other when they were little,(33)
For it wasn’t long till Edgar got in the middle.(50)
Growing up was hard to do,
Heathcliff was liked by very few.
Isabella, however, married him though,(124)
Just to find out he was her foe.(139)
Killing Heathcliff could have been her way out,
Lockwood wouldn’t have known him-what would this book have been about?
Marrying their kin didn’t bother them much,(257)
Neither family seemed to be in touch.
Old Catherine died; her baby came,(150)
Pretty young babe carried her same name(152)
Quietly Edgar surely did mourn,
Refusing to accept that which was born.
Slowly, but surely, he learned to believe,
Thrushcross Grange she could not leave.(234)
Under his strict rule she did live,
Very seldom she found others for her love to give.
Wuthering Heights was the home of her future men,(237)
X-iting to see them was simply a sin.(238)
Yes, Heathcliff's demise was sad,
Zealously pursuing Cathy till driven mad.(303)
