The Solitary
Myheart has grown rich with the passing of years,I have less need now than when I was youngTo share myself with every comerOr shape my thoughts into words with my tongue.It is one to me that they come or goIf I have myself and the drive of my will,And strength to climb on a summer nightAnd watch the stars swarm over the hill.Let them think I love them more than I do,Let them think I care, though I go alone;If it lifts their pride, what is it to meWho am self-complete as a flower or a stone.

Myheart has grown rich with the passing of years,
I have less need now than when I was young
To share myself with every comer
Or shape my thoughts into words with my tongue.
It is one to me that they come or goIf I have myself and the drive of my will,And strength to climb on a summer nightAnd watch the stars swarm over the hill.
It is one to me that they come or go
If I have myself and the drive of my will,
And strength to climb on a summer night
And watch the stars swarm over the hill.
Let them think I love them more than I do,Let them think I care, though I go alone;If it lifts their pride, what is it to meWho am self-complete as a flower or a stone.
Let them think I love them more than I do,
Let them think I care, though I go alone;
If it lifts their pride, what is it to me
Who am self-complete as a flower or a stone.
