Alone
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

i love your refreshment but nothing else but its sorrow: /
his poem compels me to look back at my childhood I cant say any more
really very touchy.........
loved it, , , , , , ,
My favorite lines: All I loved, I loved alone... and (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view.
Alone. A seemingly simple title for a piece so strong, yet the word 'Alone' is so strong in itself. Leave it to Poe to capture so much darkness and emotion and put in on paper. This must be one of my favorite pieces of his.
