| Summary: | Engraved score on vellum music score paper for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. The words are from John Keats' poem "O Solitude! If I Must with Thee Dwell".Vocal, Piano20 pages; 6 3/4 x 10 3/4O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap Of murky buildings; climb with me the steep, - Nature’s observatory - whence the dell, Its flowery slopes, its river’s crystal swell, May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep ’Mongst boughs pavillion’d, where the deer’s swift leap Startles the wild bee from the fox-glove bell. But though I’ll gladly trace these scenes with thee, Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind, Whose words are images of thoughts refin’d, Is my soul’s pleasure; and it sure must be Almost the highest bliss of human-kind, When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.
