I Was Made Erect and Lone

USA-Minnesota, Itasca State Park (Headwaters of the Mississippi River)

I Was Made Erect and Lone

I was made erect and lone

And within me is the bone

Still my vision will be clear

Still my life will not be drear

To the center all is near

Where I sit there is my throne…

Poem by Henry David Thoreau
