I love to be alone

This is a delicious evening,

when the whole body is one sense,

I go and come with a strange liberty

in Nature, a part of herself.

Sympathy with the fluttering

alder and poplar leaves

almost takes away my breath,

takes away my breath.

I have my horizon bounded

by woods all to myself;

I have, as it were,

my own sun

and moon and stars,

and a little world

all to myself.

I find it wholesome

to be alone

the greater part of the time,

to be alone.

I never found the companion

that was so companionable

as solitude.

I love to be alone.

I have my horizon bounded

by woods all to myself;

I have, as it were,

my own sun

and moon and stars,

and a little world

all to myself.

I find it wholesome

to be alone

the greater part of the time,

to be alone.

I never found the companion

that was so companionable

as solitude.

I love to be alone…

as solitude,

I love to be alone…

I love to be alone…

I love to be alone.
