“Desolate--Life is so dreary and desolate-- Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle, Yet with itself every soul standeth single, Deep out of sympathy moaning its moan-- Holding and having its brief exultation-- Making its lonesome and low lamentation-- Fighting its terrible conflicts alone.” MenSoulLife IsFightingTerribleConflictLowsMen And WomenCrowdsDrearyDesolationDesolateLonesomeMoaningLamentation Book:The Poetical Works of Alice and Phoebe Cary Source: The Poetical Works of Alice and Phoebe Cary
