Alone I am, in deep Pacific Ocean; alone I am, in deepest emotion,
Among the titan stars shivers a Talcott – a pretty little on! ;
Among the colossal planet quivers a Pluto – disqualified one!
Alone I am in the lotus flowers, alone I am – a lily in hesitation.
Bronc-bonk! Crank-conk! A lone owl on tree honks on the riverbank!
Alone I am, where should I go? Alone I am, what should I do?
Alone I am I don’t want to be so lonely; alone I am, what to do?
Alone I opened the gates of my heart; alone I am – none reached out;
Alone I am a lonesome thing; alone I am a stone, a bone – I am out!
Bronc-bonk! Crank-conk! A lone owl on tree honks on the riverbank!
Alone I am, I beg thee loneliness – don’t creep into my life;
Alone I am, I implore thee aloofness – don’t peep in my life;
Alone I am, I beseech thee loneness – don’t peek in to my life.
Alone I am – all the time, round the clock, around the life!
Bronc-bonk! Crank-conk! A lone owl on tree honks on the riverbank!
