Question

Alone, and lost in thought, the desert glade

Measuring I roam with ling’ring steps and slow;

And still a watchful glance around me throw,

Anxious to shun the print of human tread:

No other means I find, no surer aid

From the world’s prying eye to hide my woe:

So well my wild disorder’d gestures show,

And lovelorn looks, the fire within me bred,

That well I deem each mountain, wood and plain,

And river knows, what I from man conceal,

What dreary hues my life’s fond prospects dim.

Yet whate’er wild or savage paths I’ve ta’en,

Where’er I wander, love attends me still,

Soft whisp’ring to my soul, and I to him.
