No other hut in sight;
The solitude depresses me,
Like deepening twilight
On a chill autumn night.
Nothing is known of this author, but he appears to have lived during the eleventh century. The Priest appears in the illustration, looking out over the bare landscape, with his tiny hut in the background.
