LONGFELLOW

AP0L0O1E DE LA VIE SOLITAIRE ET CONTEMPLATIVE

Thèse tutelary shades Are man's asylum from the tainted throng.

(Yottng.)

How oft a cloud, with envious veil,

Obscures yon bashful light, Which seems so modestly to steal

Along the waste of night !

'Tis thas the world's obstrusive wrongs

Obscure with malice Iceen Some timid heart , which only longs

To live and die unseen !
