Pilgrim of the Silent Shade

Alone I tread this merry, unrelenting land;

If friend I profess, it’s but mine own dark shade.

No fluttering wing nor love does take my hand,

Nor heart reveal repose in bonds that joy has made.

Through tranquil ways I walk with folded arms,

Ah, a pilgrim sworn to no appointed end;

My bosom bears a grief unknown to charms,

A heart-led soul whom fate will never bend.

Beside the lake I stand, the breezes sigh,

As trembling murmurs through the waters move;

Behind me quietude, before me vapors lie,

With no ear to hear the tale I long to prove.

Thus in life’s crowded fairs I still remain,

Alone with self, this silence, my domain
