read the passage.

cold in the earth, and fifteen wild decembers
from the brown hills have melted into spring—
faithful indeed is the spirit that remembers
after such years of change and suffering!

what is the meaning of this stanza from “remembrance” by emily brontë?

fifteen cold years have passed and i still think of my beloved as if he were alive.
i’ll never forget the joys we had, which remind me of spring and the melting snow.
it is a special love that enables me to stay faithful to someone who died fifteen years ago.
it was cold when my beloved died, and it feels colder now when i remember him.
