I feel so much alone...

I feel so much alone,

And yet I know that many hopes are storming

My shut heart;

For I am bolted fast in my own house.

I pace distracted through its corridors

To the music of Love's knocking hands

Against the gate,

Or silence when they sleep.

I cannot find the key to let them in,

I, my own host and guest and ghost,

Imprisoned in myself!
