I am alone, in spite of love,
In spite all I take and give—
In spite of all tenderness,
Sometimes I am not glad to live.
I alone, as though I stood
On the highest peak the tired gray world,
About me only swirling snow,
me, endless space unfurled;
With earth hidden and heaven hidden,
And only my own spirit's pride
To keep me the peace of those
Who are not lonely, having died.
