THE BLISS OF SOLITUDE(A quatern)

Find me the bliss of solitude,
Oh, ye, loners of aged yore!
Fetch me silence's fortitude,
Oh, ye, hermits on lonely shore!

Oh, ye, who mingle with silence,
Find me the bliss of solitude,
That I may ease this troubled sense
With the calmness from quietude!

I have climbed rocky altitude
In search of comfort for my soul.
Find me the bliss of solitude,
That I may calm this raving ghoul!

There are raging storms in my head,
A wave rippling in multitude,
And for me to conquer their dread,
Find me the bliss of solitude!
