learn to live without yearning for her lover

Explanation:

In the poem "Remembrance," the author Emily Brontë speaks to her lost love, who died fifteen years ago, and asks him to forgive her if she ever forgets him. In that respect, although her joy died with him, her mind is now on other desires and hopes. As a result, the speaker is conflicted between living a joyless present and giving in to painful memories of her lover.
