Lyrics "O solitude!", Z. 406 - Christina Pluhar feat. L'Arpeggiata
O
solitude,
my
sweetest
choice:
Places
devoted
to
the
night,
Remote
from
tumult
and
from
noise,
How
ye
my
restless
thoughts
delight!
O
solitude,
my
sweetest
choice.
O
heav'ns,
what
content
is
mine
To
see
these
trees,
which
have
appear'd
From
the
nativity
of
time,
And
which
all
ages
have
rever'd,
To
look
today
as
fresh
and
green
As
when
their
beauties
first
were
seen.
O,
how
agreeable
a
sight
These
hanging
mountains
do
appear,
Which
th'
unhappy
would
invite
To
finish
all
their
sorrows
here,
When
their
hard
fate
makes
them
endure
Such
woes
as
only
death
can
cure.
O,
how
I
solitude
adore!
That
element
of
noblest
wit,
Where
I
have
learnt
Apollo's
lore,
Without
the
pains
to
study
it.
For
thy
sake
I
in
love
am
grown
With
what
thy
fancy
does
pursue;
But
when
I
think
upon
my
own,
I
hate
it
for
that
reason
too,
Because
it
needs
must
hinder
me
From
seeing
and
from
serving
thee.
O
solitude,
O
how
I
solitude
adore!
