    To hear, to see, to feel, and to possess,
    And roam along, the world's tired denizen,

O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell,
Let it not be among the jumbled heap

Oh, for a lodge in some vast wilderness,
Some boundless contiguity of shade,
Where rumour of oppression read more

Oh, for a lodge in some vast wilderness,
Some boundless contiguity of shade,
Where rumour of oppression and deceit,
Of unsuccessful or successful war,
Might never reach me more!
