I am alone, in spite of love,
In spite of all I take and give—
In spite of all your tenderness,
Sometimes I am not glad to live.
I am alone, as though I stood
On the highest peak of the tired gray world,
About me only swirling snow,
Above me, endless space unfurled;
With earth hidden and heaven hidden,
And only my own spirit's pride
To keep me from the peace of those
Who are not lonely, having died.

All the good poets were depressed some manically when the popular Dias of now one dies you then will find more than a quill in their eye as well, you cannot be a great poet unless you smell the decomposing remains of the ones who came before you, milky eyes are not always blind to your cause...iip

wow i love this poem, because of her i realized that even in the past people get sad, call me crazy but in my mind i thought all the old poets never got depressed or anything, that was just something that comes with this world, but...they just express it in a more poetic manner that i love

I feel inspite of her love for this individual, she is very very alone, as she knows that this relataionship, really only exists in her fantisy.
Very very deep, and very touching

good use of meter and rhyme- obviously a bad day.
