ISOLATION by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: FAR OFF A SOLITARY PEAK
Last Line: THE MOUNTAIN TOP AND COLD!
Subject(s): SYMPATHY; EMPATHY;

Far off a solitary Peak
The restless Waves behold.
"Thou hast attained the heaven we seek;
Oh, teach us, self-controlled,
Thy constancy!" Alas, how bleak
The mountain top and cold!
