ACTUM EST!, by                    
First Line: As one returning to native mountains
Last Line: So am I now, alone, undone.
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness


AS one returning to native mountains,
Treading buoyantly, firm and free,
Drawing deep breath from ethereal fountains,
So was I then enlarged in thee.

As one not thankless, yet scarcely heeding
Song or silence, or rain or sun,
Because of the pain of his two feet bleeding,
So am I now, alone, undone.
