Oh let me be alone, far from eyes and faces, Let me be alone, a while, even from you; My soul is like a desert, sick of light-filled spaces, The urge of useless winds, the sky of pitiless blue; Let me be alone, a while, in twilit places, Waiting the merciful night, the stately stars and the dew. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WOMAN'S INCONSTANCY by ROBERT AYTON A LEGEND OF MINNESOTA by LILLIAN ATCHERSON THE INCURABLE; A SONG by PHILIP AYRES MUCKLE-MOU'D MEG by JAMES BALLANTYNE PSALM 67 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE BBC by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB |
