Lost to the World - Anne Clark

I have lost touch with the world

Where once I wasted much of my time

Nothing has been heard from me for so long

That they might well think me dead

Indeed, I hardly care

If the world thinks I am dead

Neither can I deny it

For I am truly dead to the world

I am dead to the bustle of the world

And repose in a tranquil realm

I live alone

In my heaven

In my loving

In my song
