Poem by Eleanor Farjeon

Solitary

He moved his fellow-men among
And changed with them some forms of speech.

They would not hear his heart beseech.

Their needs were very like his own,
Quivering in bodies numb and dazed;
They smiled and talked and felt alone.--
Did not their hearts look on amazed?

3. Sonnets. 11. A few of us who faltered as we fared
4. Sonnets. 12. I hear love answer: Since within the mesh
5. Sonnets. 18. Shall we not laugh together, you and I
