      Alone ! r , Yesquite alone upon a mountain-top ;

      , I shall not mingle with the crowds again , I see them hurry past—they never stop .

      I would not buy their pleasure with my pain ; Their joys are storms , my sorrow is a calm ;

      Their smiles are bitter , while my tears are sweet ; They fear each hour is pregnant with a harm ,

      While I watch calmly at the Future ' s feet . Alone !

      : Xes , climbing higher up the mountain height , iFarther from earth is nearer to the skies ;

      The crowd below wax dim , but ' mid the light That breaks yon cloud , I spy two watchful eyes .

      Thank God for every tear that I have shed —For sorrow is life ' s little lump of leaven—

      -The cloud has burst- —wings close about my head- _^ Alone on earth is not alone in Heaven !
