Classic and Contemporary Poetry

ACTUM EST! by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: AS ONE RETURNING TO NATIVE MOUNTAINS
Last Line: SO AM I NOW, ALONE, UNDONE.
Subject(s): SOLITUDE; LONELINESS;
AS one returning to native mountains,
Treading buoyantly, firm and free,
Drawing deep breath from ethereal fountains,
So was I then enlarged in thee.

As one not thankless, yet scarcely heeding
Song or silence, or rain or sun,
Because of the pain of his two feet bleeding,
So am I now, alone, undone.
