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 lov'd -- I lov'd alone-- Then--in my childhood--in the dawn Of y most stormy life--was drawn From evry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still-- From the torrent, or the fountain-- From the red cliff of the mountain top From the sun tht round me roll'd In its autumn tint of gold-- From the lightning in the sky As it pass'd me flying by__ From the thunder ,and the storm And the cloud tht took form (when the rest of heaven was blue) Of a Demon in my view. Edgar Allan Poe
