SOLITARY by ETHELYN MILLER HARTWICH

First Line: THE TIES THAT BIND TWO HUMAN LIVES
Last Line: TO RARER AIR ENCLOSING HIM AND GOD.
Subject(s): SOLITUDE; LONELINESS;
The ties that bind two human lives
However tender—
Must part for one profound experience.
Alone each man ascends that mount
Of sacred silence
To rarer air enclosing him and God.
