THOUGHTS (2), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When I am all alone
Last Line: Than women and men.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Thought; Thinking


When I am all alone
Envy me most,
Then my thoughts flutter round me
In a glimmering host;

Some dressed in silver,
Some dressed in white,
Each like a taper
Blossoming light;

Most of them merry,
Some of them grave,
Each of them lithe
As willows that wave;

Some bearing violets,
Some bearing bay,
One with a burning rose
Hidden away --

When I am all alone
Envy me then,
For I have better friends
Than women and men.
