WE MUST GO ALONE, by                    
First Line: Mostly I go alone
Last Line: Our day is done.
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness


Mostly I go alone
Like a ship through the night
Buffeted about, wind-blown,
Waiting for the dawn of light.

Mostly I walk alone
In silence through the night.
My life is mine own --
You cannot share my plight.

So life goes:
We must go alone.
Our eyelids close,
Our day is done.
