Alone! Stark alone! I am alone O God, stretch forth Thy hand That I may find it. The way is weary -- dusty -- long! I am alone! O God, all earthly friends Are far behind me. They have their own! I only am alone! O God, show me the way I cannot see. Alone! Stark alone! Afraid! Beset! O God, speak peace to me And make me forget. Forget the past -- the dark -- the chill -- Forget the present ache and pain. Alone I cannot be As Thou dost love me still. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOLIATH AND DAVID by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES SHE IS FAR FROM THE LAND by THOMAS MOORE EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 15.
