Lone

As lone as a churchyard.
—Edward Bulwer-Lytton

Lone as the corse within its shroud,
Lone—as a solitary cloud,
A single cloud on a sunny day,
While all the rest of heaven is clear.
—Lord Byron

Lone like an eagle’s nest.
—Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Lone as incarnate death.
—Percy Bysshe Shelley
