O Solitude! Z406-Alan Wilson

[00:07.960]O!Solitude,my sweetest choise [00:20.760]O!Solitude [00:27.600]O!Solitude,My sweetest choise [00:42.310]Please devoted to the night, [00:51.600]Remote from tumult,and from noise, [00:59.900]How you my restless thoughts delight! [01:11.550]O!Solitude [01:18.450]O!Solitude,My sweetest choise [01:35.650]O Heavens!what content is mine, [01:44.320]To see those trees which have appear’d [01:50.170]From the nativity of Time, [01:56.960]And which hall ages have rever’d, [02:02.500]To look to-day as fresh and green, [02:09.140]To look to-day as fresh and green, [02:15.400]As when their beauties first were seen! [02:27.950]O!how agreeable a sight [02:36.540]These hanging mountains do appear, [02:44.250]Which the unhappy would invite [02:49.900]To finish all their sorrows here, [02:56.210]When their hard fate makes them endure [03:12.000]Such woes, [03:15.050]Such woes, as only death can cure. [03:30.500]O!how I Solitude adore, [03:47.300]That element of noblest wit. [04:12.900]Where I have learnt Apollo’s lore. [04:21.700]Without the pains, the pains to study it: [04:33.750]For thy sake I in love am grown [04:43.000]With what thy fancy,thy fancy does pursue; [04:52.255]But when I think upon my own, [04:59.550]I hate it,I hate it for that reason too. [05:11.864]Because it needs must hinder me [05:18.400]From seeing,from seeing,and from serving thee. [05:37.000]O!Solitude [05:44.000]O!how I Solitude adore.
