LOVE AND SOLITUDE.
Most sweet" said, lis solitude
That fruitful Punishment, whereby
We come in touch with higher good,
And hold some converse with the sky
And verify | thought that when
sat within my house alone.
Or walked far off from towns and men,
. | made some lofty thought mine own.
But when one came to share my days
loved companion, ever near,
And we had learned the same still ways,
IN languages that need no ear;
oh. then at last. learned, through her,
Hon love enrches solitude,
How love is its interpreter
The honey of its sweetest mood
