ALONE—ALONE!

BY MRS. I. W. MERCUR.

“Her friends had one after one departed, and in her mind continually rang the monotonous words, alone, alone!”
I am alone, oh God! alone—alone!
Yet thousands round me crowd life’s busy mart,
Whose ceaseless hum is as a deathless moan
Forever falling on my weary heart—
I am alone!
