Hail Solitude Thou Gentle Queen {Hail Solitude Thou Gentle Queen by Hannah More SWEET SOLITUDE-Southern Harmony, 1835 Hail, Solitude, Thou Gentle Queen } Hail, solitude, thou gentle queen, Of modest air and brow serene! 'Tis thou inspires the poet's theme, Wrapped in sweet vision's airy dream. With Thee the charms of life shall last, E'en when the rosy bloom is past, When the slowly pacing time shall spread Thy silver blossom o'er my head, No more with this vain world perplexed, Thou shalt prepare me for the next.
