ALONE by IRENE H. WILSON

First Line: ALONE, ALONE IN THE WIDE, WIDE WORLD
Last Line: SHALL BELONG TO THE AGES, THE AGES SHALL BIND.
Subject(s): SOLITUDE; LONELINESS;
Alone, alone in the wide, wide world,
Cast all alone am I
Where the deserts of time their sands have hurled
And misfortune has cast me to die.

Alone, yes alone, will I cast my line
To the tides of fortune, my fortune to find,
Memories that were yours and thoughts that were mine,
Shall belong to the ages, the ages shall bind.
