Oh let me be alone, far from eyes and faces, Let me be alone, a while, even from you; My soul is like a desert, sick of light-filled spaces, The urge of useless winds, the sky of pitiless blue; Let me be alone, a while, in twilit places, Waiting the merciful night, the stately stars and the dew. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VALUE IN MOUNTAINS: 10 by KENNETH REXROTH IMPERIAL NOSTALGIAS: 4 by CESAR VALLEJO BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON TIRED TIM by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE WEARINESS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW NEURASTENIA by AGNES MARY F.
