Oh solitude, I salute! Scary nights and merry daylight Oh solitude, my interlude My sister moon sprite and brother so bright Oh solitude, I salute you! Grant my soul your altitude Oh solitude, I salute you You, you, you A house made of glass The sun is shining through He heats the heart in every nook Enlightens gloomy bends A glass made of home The wind is gusting in He rustles up the sleepyheads And feeds upon their bones Oh solitude, I salute! Scary nights and merry daylight Oh solitude, my interlude My sister moon sprite and brother so bright Oh solitude, I salute you! Grant my soul your altitude Oh solitude, I salute you You, you, you A home made of pane The night is at the door She creeps upon the window screen And leaks into my mind A pane made of skin The rain is drumming lead She plays her part, I know the drill It's helter-shelter well A skin made of wind With origami walls The woody creaks, the willow squeaks An eggshell 'round a soul Oh solitude, I salute you!
