<h2 id="id00219" style="margin-top: 4em">IN SOLITUDE</h2>
<p id="id00220">He is not desolate whose ship is sailing<br/>
Over the mystery of an unknown sea,<br/>
For some great love with faithfulness unfailing<br/>
Will light the stars to bear him company.<br/></p>
<p id="id00221">Out in the silence of the mountain passes,<br/>
The heart makes peace and liberty its own—<br/>
The wind that blows across the scented grasses<br/>
Bringing the balm of sleep—comes not alone.<br/></p>
<p id="id00222">Beneath the vast illimitable spaces<br/>
Where God has set His jewels in array,<br/>
A man may pitch his tent in desert places<br/>
Yet know that heaven is not so far away.<br/></p>
<p id="id00223">But in the city—in the lighted city—<br/>
Where gilded spires point toward the sky,<br/>
And fluttering rags and hunger ask for pity,<br/>
Grey Loneliness in cloth-of-gold, goes by.<br/></p>
