Lonely in this world of wonders,
Pondering of unbounded yOre,
Uncanny thoughts Of eclat yonders,
Embrace my soul forever more.
The solitary days of youth still re-
member,
In prison succumbed precious mo-
ments Of life,
With quaint surroundings as dull as
November,
Till age curved the brow with
struggle and strife.
Effaced from the doom cell of I'M
.couth,
Turned to nature brave and I'M
abated,
To unravel the mystery Of truth,
But age and power were too be-
lated.
Thus in prodigy life doth vanish,
Reporting memories do appear,
OF innocent youth the law did Danish
And Time, the Death herald, ap-
proaches near.
Lonely in this world of wonders,
depart desolate but true,
Nature commands that we follow her

For can we life ever renew?
