Alone lyrics

I am alone, in spite of love,
       &nbsp In spite of all I take and give—
In spite of all your tenderness,
       &nbsp Sometimes I am not glad to live.

I am alone, as though I stood
       &nbsp On the highest peak of the tired gray world,
About me only swirling snow,
       &nbsp Above me, endless space unfurled;

With earth hidden and heaven hidden,
       &nbsp And only my own spirit's pride
To keep me from the peace of those
       &nbsp Who are not lonely, having died.
