Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Solitude; Spring; Loneliness
I went up the avenue
In the April shine,
Many and many a man passed,
But not one was mine.
I turned to pray in a church
And from the tall choir
Men's voices were ringing
Clear as fire.
"Let me go home," I said,
"There, all alone
I will read a dull book
As still as a stone;
"Home is the place for me
On an April day --
There I can lock the door
And keep spring away."
