PEELINGS OF SOLITUDE.
COriginal.) Alone, alone, in this broad world I roam, No wife, no mother, no sister kind is near, No friend to love, no fondling child’s caress, In sickness, not a sympathising tear. Alone, alone!
Why am I thus ? O why’s my lot thus cast ? Why do I wander thus in foreign lands ? My home’s a canvas tent, my firewood’s flax, My solitary walk’s along the sea-shore sands, Alone, alone!
