Solitude

Sometimes. when care has filled my
And restless dreams have robbed my
nights.
Paths lit by li:e's more mellow lights.
The glare of action blinds my eyes,
The blaring noises tear me SO
I long for streams. for woodland skies.
For breeze-swept pines that sing so
low!
Sometimes. the fairest prospect fails
Where others share the view with me !;
Alone. o'erlooking stretching wales
From some high mountain. l would
Or in valley bright with flowers
Wet by the crystal streams. I'd stroll.
Making confessions in still hours
And comforting my restless soul
